324 ALLAN HANCOCK PACIFIC EXPEDITIONS VOL. 6 



Distribution. — Beginning with the Station A-2, Wrangell, Alaska, 

 and including the stations through 1239 off the Channel Islands, the 

 depth range of this species is from 2 to 117 fms. off Catalina Island. The 

 average depth is 37 fms. The stations 207-2157, off Mexico and in the 

 Gulf of California, have a range from 15 to 96 fms. with 44 being the 

 average, additional records off Colombia, Monaco, Penang, Suez, Gi- 

 braltar, and Kobe, Japan are from shallow waters also. Specimens were 

 quite numerous off Anacapa Island in 5 1 fms.

Test with the earliest chambers close set, later ones becoming sepa- 

 rated, initial end rounded with a very small, short spine ; chambers few, 

 gradually becoming separated; sutures depressed, more so in the later 

 chambers; wall ornamented with a few longitudinal costae usually not 

 reaching the base of the chamber; aperture with an elongate, tapering 

 neck, usually with a slight lip. 



The species has been recorded from the western Pacific. 



Stations: 411, 412, 413, 416, 417, 432, 450, 461, 467, and 473. 



Distribution. — ^The Stations 411 through 473 are all in waters of the 

 Galapagos Islands. The depths range from 9 to 100 fms. with the average 

 being 53 fms. Specimens were more numerous off Hood Island in 75 fms.

Very rare specimens of the form figured occur in the Hancock collec- 

 tion but more specimens are needed to give a specific name definitely. 



Station: 2070. 



Distribution. — Station 2070, off Guadalupe Island in 250 fms., has 

 been one of the most interesting of all the bottom samples studied thus far.
