Report on the Radiolaria Collected by H.M.S. Challenger During the Years 1873-1876, Second Part: Subclass Osculosa; Index: Report on the Scientific Results of the Voyage of H.M.S. Challenger During the Years 1873-76, Vol. XVIII
Haeckel, Ernst
Radiolaria
_Habitat._--Central Pacific, Station 265, depth 2900 fathoms.
3. _Triceraspyris didiceros_, Haeckel.
_Ceratospyris didiceros_, Ehrenberg, 1875, Abhandl. d. Akad. d. Wiss.
Berlin, p. 66, Taf. xxi. fig. 6.
Shell nut-shaped, thorny, with superficial sagittal stricture. Pores large,
irregular roundish. Basal plate with four larger pores. Apical horn and
caudal foot small, conical, shorter than half the shell. The two frontal
horns longer, slender conical. The two pectoral feet very large,
cylindrical, nearly parallel, vertical, slightly curved, twice to three
times as long as the shell.
_Dimensions._--Shell 0.07 long, 0.09 broad; two sagittal spines 0.02 long,
two lateral horns 0.04 long, two lateral feet 0.15 to 0.25 long.
_Habitat._--Fossil in Barbados.
Subgenus 2. _Triospyrium_, Haeckel.
_Definition._--Horns simple, not branched; feet forked or branched.
{1031}4. _Triceraspyris furcata_, Haeckel.
_Ceratospyris furcata_, Ehrenberg, 1875, Abhandl. d. k. Akad. d. Wiss.
Berlin, p. 66, Taf. xx. fig. 8.
Shell nut-shaped, tuberculate, with slight sagittal stricture. Pores
numerous, irregular roundish. Basal plate with four large pores. Three
horns small, conical, shorter than half the shell. Three feet large,
cylindrical, curved, about twice as long as the shell, forked at the distal
end.
_Dimensions._--Shell 0.07 long, 0.08 broad; horns 0.02 long, feet 0.1 to
0.12 long.
_Habitat._--Fossil in Barbados.
5. _Triceraspyris giraffa_, n. sp. (Pl. 84, fig. 11).
Shell nut-shaped, mammillate, with slight sagittal stricture. Pores
numerous, subregular circular. Basal plate with nine pores (three larger
central and three alternate pairs of smaller peripheral, as in Pl. 87, fig.
2). Three horns equal, straight, divergent, shorter than the shell, in the
basal half cylindrical, in the distal half spindle-shaped. Three feet
cylindrical, twice as long as the shell, nearly parallel, vertical, at the
distal end divergent, with a recurved branch near the base.
_Dimensions._--Shell 0.08 long, 0.1 broad; horns 0.05 to 0.07 long, feet
0.16 long.
_Habitat._--Western Tropical Pacific, Station 225, depth 4475 fathoms.
6. _Triceraspyris gazella_, n. sp. (Pl. 84, fig. 9).
Shell nut-shaped, tuberculate, with sharp sagittal stricture. Pores large,
irregular roundish; two or three pairs of larger pores on each side of the
ring. Basal plate with three large triangular pores. Three horns simple,
about as long as the shell, the apical straight, the two frontal elegantly
curved. Three feet somewhat longer, slender, curved, with a recurved branch
near the base, repeatedly forked at the distal end.
_Dimensions._--Shell 0.06 long, 0.09 broad; horn 0.05 long, feet 0.08 long.
_Habitat._--Indian Ocean (Cocos Islands), surface (Rabbe).
7. _Triceraspyris corallorrhiza_, n. sp. (Pl. 84, fig. 12).
