Of this species a rather large collection has been gathered. 

 Referring to the thorough description of Mr. & Mrs. Gepp, based 

 essentially upon my collection, I shall only point out here that 

 the species seems to be rather common in deep water about 20 — 40 

 meters, where it grows upon sandy bottom. 



It is only found at the shores of St. Thomas and St. Jan, namely, 

 St. Thomas: in the sea to the west of Water Island in many dredgings
