_Ceratospyris mystax_, Ehrenberg, 1875, Abhandl. d. k. Akad. d. Wiss.
Berlin, p. 66, Taf. xx. fig. 6.
Shell elliptical spinulate, with slight collar stricture and large
subregular circular pores. Basal plate with three pores (?) Horn small
conical, oblique, shorter than the shell. Feet slender conical, longer than
the shell, slightly curved, divergent. At the base of the columella,
between the two feet, a small rudiment of the last caudal foot is visible.
_Dimensions._--Shell 0.06 long, 0.1 broad; horn 0.02, feet 0.12 long.
_Habitat._--Fossil in Barbados.
3. _Dipospyris cubus_, n. sp. (Pl. 83, fig. 18).
Shell box-shaped, subcubical, papillate, without external sagittal
stricture, with numerous subregular circular pores. Basal plate with three
very large collar pores, surrounded by a circle of smaller pores. Apical
horn short and thick, scarcely half as long as the shell. Feet of the same
form, longer than the shell, widely divergent.
_Dimensions._--Shell 0.08 long, 0.11 broad; horn 0.03 long, feet 0.14 long.
_Habitat._--Central Pacific, Station 272, depth 2600 fathoms.
{1037}4. _Dipospyris chelifer_, n. sp. (Pl. 85, fig. 3).
Shell elliptical, compressed, nodose, with deep sagittal stricture and
irregular roundish pores. Basal plate with three pores (?). Apical horn
stout, conical, twice to four times as long as the shell (often much longer
than in the figured specimen). Feet scarcely longer then the shell,
cylindrical, slightly curved towards one another.
_Dimensions._--Shell 0.08 long, 0.12 broad; horn 0.2 to 0.3 long, feet 0.1
to 0.15 long.
_Habitat._--Central Pacific, Station 268, depth 2900 fathoms.
5. _Dipospyris irregularis_, n. sp. Pl. 85, fig. 2.
Shell subspherical, without external sagittal stricture, with small
circular pores. Basal plate with four pores. Apical horn small, conical,
shorter than the shell. Feet three to four times as long as the shell,
cylindrical, irregularly curved, very variable in size and form.
_Dimensions._--Shell 0.08 long, 0.1 broad; horn 0.02 to 0.04 long, feet 0.2
to 0.3 long.
_Habitat._--Central Pacific, Stations 266 to 268, depth 2700 to 2900
fathoms.
6. _Dipospyris sigmopodium_, n. sp.
Shell violin-shaped, thorny, with deep sagittal stricture and irregular
roundish pores. Basal plate with four collar pores. Horn straight, conical,
about as long as the shell. Feet twice as long, cylindrical, markedly
divergent, S-shaped, curved.
_Dimensions._--Shell 0.08 long, 0.12 broad; horn 0.06 long, feet 0.2 long.
_Habitat._--Tropical Atlantic, Station 348, depth 2450 fathoms; also fossil
in Barbados.
7. _Dipospyris forcipata_, n. sp. (Pl. 85, fig. 1).
