Radiolaria
Shell subspherical, compressed, rough, with slight sagittal stricture and
ovate internal primary ring. Basal plate with four large collar pores (fig.
13_a_, _loc. cit._). The other lattice-work with irregular small roundish
pores. Apical horn and the three feet short and thick, scarcely half as
long as the shell, with a roundish spinulate knob at the distal end.
_Dimensions._--Length of the shell 0.07 long, 0.08 broad; horn and feet
0.02 to 0.03 long.
_Habitat._--Fossil in Barbados.
11. _Tripospyris tessaromma_, n. sp.
Shell nearly cubical, spiny, with deep sagittal stricture and subcircular
ring. Basal plate with four large collar pores. Facial and occipital plates
each also with two pairs of large square annular pores; lateral pores
irregular polygonal. Apical horn half as long as the feet, which are three
times the length of the shell, cylindrical, slightly curved.
_Dimensions._--Shell 0.1 long, 0.12 broad; horn 0.15 long, feet 0.3 long.
_Habitat._--Tropical Atlantic, Station 348, depth 2450 fathoms.
Subgenus 4. _Tripospyromma_, Haeckel.
_Definition._--Basal plate with six or more collar pores. Commonly two
small anterior jugular pores, two large middle cardinal pores, and two
small posterior cervical pores; sometimes several small accessory collar
pores.
12. _Tripospyris hexomma_, n. sp. (Pl. 95, fig. 4).
Shell thorax-shaped, tuberculate, with deep sagittal stricture and
semicircular internal primary ring. Basal plate with three pairs of pores.
Facial plate with two pairs, occipital plate with four pairs of large
annular pores. Lateral pores smaller, irregular, polygonal. Apical horn and
caudal foot half as long as the shell and as the two pectoral feet; all
four spines cylindrical, two to three times as long as the shell, slightly
curved.
_Dimensions._--Shell 0.1 long, 0.12 broad; horn and feet 0.2 to 0.4 long.
_Habitat._--Central Pacific, Station 265, depth 2900 fathoms.
{1029}13. _Tripospyris semantidium_, n. sp.
Shell nut-shaped, thorny, with sharp sagittal stricture and subcircular
ring. Basal plate with three pairs of large pores. Facial and occipital
plates each with three pairs of large squarish pores. Lateral pores small
and numerous, irregular roundish. Apical horn half as long as the shell and
the three feet; all four spines straight, cylindrical, with thickened
club-shaped end.
_Dimensions._--Shell 0.12 long, 0.13 broad; horn 0.06 long, feet 0.15.
_Habitat._--Tropical Atlantic, Station 347, depth 2250 fathoms.
14. _Tripospyris eucolpos_, n. sp. (Pl. 84, fig. 4).
Shell thorax-shaped, smooth, with two vaulted bosoms, separated by a deep
sagittal stricture and an internal primary ring. Basal plate constricted,
with three pairs of collar pores. The other lattice-work with subregular
circular pores. Apical horn and the three feet shorter than the shell,
straight, divergent; their inner half thinner, cylindrical, smooth, their
outer half an ovate dimpled cone.
