Rare, in deep water. Besides the original type, found half-dried on the beach, 

 we have found one si)ecimen from the deep sea and one killed in a lava-flow from 

 Mauna Loa. There is also a cast in the Bishop jMuseum. The species may be 

 distinguished from the next by the divergence of the long proboscideal horns and 

 by the presence of dark cross-bands.
