y. Nature of the Sea-bottom: Cribrella oculata is found on hard ground, on clay 
(sandy, Blue, and Biloculina), and Blue mud; Cribrella antillarum on hard 
ground, fine sand, and mud ; Cribrella sexradiata on broken shells and corals ; 
Cribrella obesa on sand, gravel, and Blue mud; Cribrella prestans and Cr- 
brella simplex on hard ground (gravel, shells), the latter also on Volcanic sand. 
Cribrella simplex, var. granulosa, and Cribrella sufflata, on Volcanic mud.
