Radiolaria
_Dimensions._--Shell 0.07 to 0.09 diameter; horn 0.06 long, feet 0.3 to 0.4
long.
_Habitat._--Fossil in Tertiary rocks of Barbados.
6. _Tripospyris conifera_, n. sp. (Pl. 84, figs. 7, 7_a_).
Shell nearly hemispherical, papillate, with slight sagittal stricture and
semicircular internal ring. Basal plate with three large pores (sometimes,
as in the figured specimen, with some small accessory peripheral pores).
The other lattice-work with subregular circular pores. Apical horn shorter
than the three basal feet, but of similar form, like an elegant ovate
dimpled cone, spinulate, with a smooth spindle-shaped pedicle, about as
long as the shell.
_Dimensions._--Shell 0.08 long, 0.1 broad; horn 0.06 long, feet 0.08 long.
_Habitat._--Western Tropical Pacific, Station 225, depth 4475 fathoms.
7. _Tripospyris triplecta_, n. sp. (Pl. 95, fig. 2).
Shell thorax-shaped, spiny, with deep sagittal stricture and semicircular
internal ring. Basal plate with three large collar pores. Facial plate with
four pairs, occipital plate with three pairs of large annular pores; the
other pores small, subregular, circular. Apical horn and the feet slender,
three-sided pyramidal, about as long as the shell.
_Dimensions._--Shell 0.1 long, 0.11 broad; horn and feet 0.1 to 0.15 broad.
_Habitat._--Mediterranean, Corfu (Haeckel), surface.
Subgenus 3. _Tripospyrissa_, Haeckel.
_Definition._--Basal plate with two pairs of collar pores (two larger
posterior cardinal pores and two smaller anterior jugular pores).
8. _Tripospyris semantrum_, n. sp. (Pl. 95, fig. 3).
Shell thorax-shaped, thorny, with deep sagittal stricture and subcircular
ring. Basal plate with four large collar pores (two smaller ovate jugular,
and two larger pentagonal cardinal pores). Facial and occipital plates also
each with two pairs of large annular pores; lateral sides with smaller
irregular polygonal pores. Apical horn and the three feet slender,
prismatic, divergent, longer than the shell.
_Dimensions._--Shell 0.07 long, 0.08 broad; horn and feet 0.11 to 0.13
long.
_Habitat._--South Atlantic, Cape of Good Hope (Wilhelm Bleek), surface.
{1028}9. _Tripospyris capitata_, n. sp. (Pl. 84, fig. 1).
Shell subspherical, spiny, with slight sagittal stricture and ovate
internal ring. Basal plate with four large collar pores. Facial plate with
three pairs and occipital plate with two pairs of large roundish annular
pores; lateral lattice with smaller irregular pores. Apical horn and the
three feet subcylindrical, about half as long as the shell, straight,
divergent, with a spherical, spinulate knob at the distal end.
_Dimensions._--Shell 0.09 long, 0.1 broad; horn and feet 0.05 to 0.06 long.
_Habitat._--Central Pacific, Station 266, depth 2750 fathoms.
10. _Tripospyris clavata_, Haeckel.
_Ceratospyris clavata_, Bütschli, 1882, Zeitschr. f. wiss. Zool., vol.
xxxvi. p. 539, Taf. xxxii. fig. 13, _a-c_.
