5. Podocyrtis corythæola, n. sp. (Pl. 72, fig. 2).
Shell ovate conical, with two deep strictures, and with rough surface. Length of the three joints = 2 : 5 : 8, breadth = 3 : 8 : 10. Cephalis hemispherical, thorny, with a strong oblique horn three times the length, which is armed with nine to twelve conical spines. Pores small, circular, of irregular size and distribution. Feet spindle-shaped, divergent, as long as the inflated abdomen.
Dimensions.—Length of the three feet, a 0.02, b 0.05, c 0.08; breadth, a 0.03, b 0.08, c 0.1.
Habitat.—Indian Ocean, Maldive Islands (Haeckel), surface.
6. Podocyrtis surena, n. sp. (Pl. 72, fig. 10).
Shell thin-walled, tower-shaped, smooth, with two deep strictures. Length of the three joints = 2 : 5 : 10, breadth = 3 : 10 : 11. Cephalis subspherical, with a bent conical horn, as long as the hemispherical thorax. Abdomen cylindrical. Pores subregular, circular, quincuncially disposed, and slightly larger in the abdomen. Feet with a thickened calf, nearly perpendicular, as long as the thorax; their distal ends little divergent, and forming a knob beset with small roundish tubercles.
Dimensions.—Length of the three joints, a 0.02, b 0.05, c 0.1; breadth, a 0.035, b 0.1, c 0.11.
Habitat.—North Pacific, Station 241, depth 2300 fathoms.
7. Podocyrtis conulus, n. sp.
Shell elongate, conical, rough, without external strictures, but with two internal septal rings. Length of the three joints = 3 : 4 : 15, breadth = 5 : 7 : 12. Cephalis hemispherical, with a thick pyramidal horn of the same length. Feet also pyramidal, divergent, of the same size as the horn. Pores irregular, roundish, of variable size. Abdomen very long.
Dimensions.—Length of the three joints, a 0.03, b 0.04, c 0.15; breadth, a 0.05, b 0.07, c 0.12.
Habitat.—Tropical Atlantic, Station 342, depth 1445 fathoms; also fossil in Barbados.
8. Podocyrtis tridactyla, n. sp.
Shell conical, with two slight strictures, smooth. Length of the three joints = 2 : 6 : 5, breadth = 4 : 5 : 6. Cephalis hemispherical, with a pyramidal horn of twice the length. Pores irregular, polygonal, of variable size. Feet as long as the abdomen, constricted in the middle, trilobed at the distal end; the middle lobe twice as large as the lateral lobes.
Dimensions.—Length of the three joints, a 0.02, b 0.06, c 0.05; breadth, a 0.04, b 0.05, c 0.06.
Habitat.—Indian Ocean, Madagascar, Rabbe.
Subgenus 2. Podocyrtecium, Haeckel.
Definition.—Feet divergent (the distance between their ends being greater than that between their bases). Pores of the thorax and abdomen of different form or size.
