This pelagic form is widely diffused, but is by no 

 means common. It has occurred in the N. Atlantic, 

 to the S. of the Canaries, and in the shore sands of 

 Cuba and Jamaica. It has also been found in the 

 S. Atlantic and in the N. and S. Pacific Oceans. 

 At Funafuti, in the S. Pacific, it has lately been found 

 in dredgings from depths of 50 to 60 and 200 fathoms.
