This species, well-known in littoral waters, appears to be regularly met with 

 also at considerable depths. Thus Bourne obtained a specimen at 200 fathoms 

 on the S.W. coast of Ireland ; another was taken during the survey at 115 fathoms, 

 off the coast of Kerry, while three have been recorded by Brown- Goode from the 

 coast of the United States at depths of 120, 142, and 365 fathoms, respectively.
