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

Radiolaria
Cephalis trilobate, separated by a deep collar constriction from the
hemispherical thorax, which is twice as broad. Occipital lobe
helmet-shaped, little longer than the two hemispherical frontal lobes.
Surface spiny. Pores irregular, roundish, of very different size.
_Dimensions._--Length of the shell 0.1, breadth 0.07.
_Habitat._--Western Tropical Pacific, Station 225, depth 4475 fathoms.
{1113}2. _Botryopyle cribrosa_, Haeckel.
_Lithobotrys cribrosa_, Ehrenberg, 1875, Abhandl. d. k. Akad. d. Wiss.
Berlin, p. 76, Taf. iii. fig. 20.
? _Lithobotrys biceps_, Ehrenberg, 1872, Abhandl. d. k. Akad. d. Wiss.
Berlin, p. 295, Taf. ix. fig. 23.
Cephalis trilobate, separated by a slight collar constriction from the
ovate thorax, which is somewhat smaller. Occipital lobe very large,
helmet-shaped, longer than the thorax and twice as long as the two
subspherical frontal lobes. Pores regular, circular, scarce.
_Dimensions._--Length of the shell 0.11, breadth 0.05.
_Habitat._--Fossil in Barbados.
3. _Botryopyle cephalodes_, Haeckel.
_Lithocorythium cephalodes_, Ehrenberg, 1875, Abhandl. d. k. Akad. d.
Wiss. Berlin, p. 78, Taf. iv. fig. 6.
Cephalis quinquelobate, separated by a slight collar constriction from the
larger conical thorax, which is gradually dilated towards the wide mouth.
Occipital lobe helmet-shaped, little longer than the frontal half of the
cephalis, which is divided into two pairs of lateral chambers,
corresponding to the four crossed pores of the sagittal septum, figured by
Ehrenberg. The figure of the latter is inverse, seen from the frontal face,
a part of the frontal wall having been broken off.
_Dimensions._--Length of the shell 0.08, breadth 0.05.
_Habitat._--Fossil in Barbados.
4. _Botryopyle dictyocephalus_, n. sp. (Pl. 96, fig. 6).
Cephalis multilobate, separated by an oblique constriction from the
subcylindrical thorax, which is somewhat larger and slightly curved.
Occipital lobe conical, of the same length as the posterior part of the
triangular frontal half of the shell, which is divided into five to seven
lobes, two or three odd lobes in the median part, and one or two pairs of
lateral lobes; very variable in size and form of the lobes. Mouth of the
thorax wide, truncate.
_Dimensions._--Length of the shell 0.12, breadth 0.07.
_Habitat._--Central Pacific, Station 271 to 274, depth 2350 to 2750
fathoms.
5. _Botryopyle inclusa_, n. sp. (Pl. 96, fig. 5).
Cephalis multilobate, campanulate, separated by a sharp constriction from
the inflated thorax, which is nearly twice as long and broad. Both joints
of the shell are irregularly lobate, with numerous vaulted lobes of
different sizes, and partly internal septa. Pores small and numerous.
_Dimensions._--Length of the shell 0.1, breadth 0.06.
_Habitat._--Mediterranean (Candia), Spratt, depth 1620 fathoms.
{1114}Genus 489. _Acrobotrys_, Haeckel,[106] 1881, Prodromus, p. 440.
