FOKAMINIFEKA OF THE PHILIPPINE AND ADJACENT SEAS. 451 



which I have separated is different from some of the other material. 

 Tlie Kerimba specimens seem to be different from those figured by 

 Brady, according to Heron-Allen and Earland. However, they note 

 that the specimens "have walls, all of such extreme tenuity that they 

 are of a delicate blue, opalescent tint." This is also characteristic of 

 the Philippine specimens, which are very delicately colored in a sim- 

 ilar way. 



The available records for this species range from the Hawaiian 

 Islands to the coast of Africa and to the Mediterranean,

Specimens were not common, being found at but two stations^ 

 D5181, off eastern Panay, in 26 fathoms (48 meters), and D5218, 

 between Burias and Luzon, in 20 fathoms (37 meters). 



The records for this species seem to be all from the Indo-Pacific 

 region, being recorded by Brady from off Tahi ti in 420 and 620 fath- 

 oms (768 and 1,134 meters) ; off Kandavu, Fiji Islands, in 225 fathoms 

 (412 meters) ; and several stations oft' New Guinea in 3 to 25 fathoms 

 (5 to 46 meters). He records it as "a rare coral-reef species." The 

 other records are Millett's, from the Malay region, and my own, from 

 the Hawaiian Islands. Dakin records a single specimen from off 

 Ceylon. Heron-Allen and Earland report occasional specimens from 

 the Kerimba region.
