The Challenger specimens came from the Atlantic, and were 

 captured between 25°-30° N. latitude and 18°-20° W. longitude, at 

 a depth of 2,055 to 2,789 meters (1,124 to 1,525 fathoms). The 

 Travailleur and Talisman expeditions found O. chelys in 39° N. 

 latitude and 12° W. longitude, in 3,307 meters (1,814 fathoms). The 

 Siboga met with 0. chelys in the Sunda Archipelago between 2° N. 

 latitude and 4° S. latitude and 125°-127° E. longitude, at depths 

 varying from 1,165 to 2,081 meters (637 to 1,141 fathoms). The 

 species therefore appears to have a rather extensive geographical 

 range and always to occur in deep water.
