Radiolaria
_Habitat._--Central Pacific, Stations 265 to 268, depth 2700 to 2900
fathoms.
2. _Dictyospyris stalactites_, n. sp. (Pl. 89, fig. 7).
Shell nut-shaped, covered with irregular ramified tubercles (like
stalactites), with deep sagittal stricture. Pores not numerous, large,
irregular, roundish. Two pairs of large triangular pores on each side of
the ring (the inferior larger). Basal plate with two very large
semicircular collar pores.
_Dimensions._--Shell 0.07 long, 0.09 broad.
_Habitat._--Central Pacific, Station 272, depth 2600 fathoms; also fossil
in Barbados.
{1074}3. _Dictyospyris biloba_, n. sp.
Shell subspherical, tuberculate, with slight sagittal stricture. Pores very
numerous, small, circular. No larger pores on either side of the ring.
Basal plate with two very large circular pores, surrounded by a circle of
smaller pores.
_Dimensions._--Shell 0.07 long, 0.08 broad.
_Habitat._--North Pacific, Station 253, depth 3125 fathoms.
Subgenus 2. _Dictyospyrella_, Haeckel.
_Definition._--Basal plate with three large collar pores (two paired
posterior cardinal pores and an odd anterior sternal pore).
4. _Dictyospyris triomma_, n. sp.
Shell nut-shaped, smooth, with deep sagittal stricture. Pores not numerous,
large, polygonal roundish, two pairs of very large annular pores on each
side of the ring. Basal plate with three large triangular pores. No free
internal procolumella.
_Dimensions._--Shell 0.06 long, 0.09 broad.
_Habitat._--Indian Ocean, Zanzibar (Pullen), depth 2200 fathoms.
5. _Dictyospyris tristoma_, Ehrenberg.
_Dictyospyris tristoma_, Ehrenberg, 1875, Abhandl. d. k. Akad. d. Wiss.
Berlin, p. 70, Taf. xix. fig. 9.
Shell nut-shaped, tuberculate, with slight sagittal stricture. Pores
numerous, irregular, roundish. Three pairs of larger annular pores on each
side of the ring. Basal plate with three large semi-circular pores (the
sternal odd pore apparently halved by an internal free procolumella).
_Dimensions._--Shell 0.05 long, 0.08 broad.
_Habitat._--Fossil in Barbados and Sicily (Caltanisetta).
6. _Dictyospyris triloba_, Ehrenberg.
_Dictyospyris triloba_, Ehrenberg, 1876, Abhandl. d. k. Akad. d. Wiss.
Berlin, p. 70, Taf. xix. fig. 8.
Shell nut-shaped, spinulate, without external stricture, but with a
complete internal sagittal ring. Pores numerous, subregular circular; no
larger annular pores. Basal plate with three large, heart-shaped two-lobed
collar pores.
_Dimensions._--Shell 0.05 long, 0.07 broad.
_Habitat._--Fossil in Barbados.
{1075}7. _Dictyospyris gigas_, Bütschli.
_Dictyospyris gigas_, Bütschli, 1880, Zeitschr. f. wiss. Zool., vol.
xxxvi., p. 539, Taf. xxxii. fig. 14_a_, 14_b_.
