ovate pores (six to eight in one row), and with a coronal of twelve to fifteen divergent, slender, curved feet, as long as the cephalis. (In the figure of Ehrenberg, seen half from below, the cephalis is not represented.)

Dimensions.—Length of the three joints, a 0.02, b 0.06, c 0.02; breadth, a 0.02, b 0.06, c 0.1.

Habitat.—Fossil in Barbados.


4. Clathrocyclas collaris, n. sp. (Pl. 74, fig. 8).

Shell subconical, with two indistinct strictures. Length of the three joints = 1 : 1 : 2, breadth = 1 : 2 : 3. Cephalis hemispherical, with a triangular prismatic horn three times the length. Thorax truncate, conical, with a single transverse row of circular pores, each of which is placed in the lower end of an oblong, lanceolate, longitudinal furrow; collar composed of fifteen to twenty such furrows. Abdomen inflated, with four to six transverse rows of circular pores, and with a coronal of nine triangular, divergent feet, longer than the collar.

Dimensions.—Length of the three joints, a 0.02, b 0.03, c 0.06; breadth, a 0.03, b 0.06, c 0.09.

Habitat.—Central Pacific, Station 268, depth 2900 fathoms.


5. Clathrocyclas puella, Haeckel.

Podocyrtis puella sinensis, Ehrenberg, 1875, Abhandl. d. k. Akad. d. Wiss. Berlin, p. 82, Taf. xiv. fig. 3.

Shell subconical, with two indistinct strictures. Length of the three joints = 1 : 1 : 2, breadth = 1 : 2 : 3. Cephalis hemispherical, with a pyramidal horn of twice the length. Pores subregular, circular, quincuncial, in the dilated abdomen (with four to five transverse rows), twice to three times as large as in the short thorax (with two to three rows). Coronal of the wide peristome with fifteen to twenty short, triangular, divergent feet, about as long as the cephalis.

Dimensions.—Length of the three joints, a 0.02, b 0.02, c 0.04; breadth, a 0.02, b 0.04, c 0.06.

Habitat.—Fossil in Barbados.


6. Clathrocyclas domina, Haeckel.

Podocyrtis domina sinensis, Ehrenberg, 1875, Abhandl. d. k. Akad. d. Wiss. Berlin, p. 82, Taf. xiv. fig. 4.

Shell subconical, with two slight strictures. Length of the three joints = 1 : 2 : 4, breadth = 1 : 3 : 4. Cephalis ovate, with a conical horn of the same length (and sometimes with some little accessory thorns at its base). Pores subregular, circular, quincuncial, in the dilated abdomen (with six to eight transverse rows), twice to four times as large as in the hemispherical thorax (with four to six rows). Coronal of the wide peristome with nine to twelve short, triangular, divergent feet, half as long as the cephalis (in Ehrenberg's figure incomplete).

Dimensions.—Length of the three joints, a 0.02, b 0.04, c 0.08; breadth, a 0.02, b 0.06, c 0.08.

Habitat.—Central Pacific, Stations 263 to 268, depth 2650 to 3000 fathoms; also fossil in Barbados.
