Radiolaria
_Habitat._--Western Tropical Pacific, Station 225, depth 4475 fathoms.
3. _Pylobotrys cerebralis_, n. sp. (Pl. 96, fig. 22).
Cephalis multilobate, with four divergent cylindrical tubes, which are
cylindrical, obliquely truncate at the mouth, and correspond in position to
the four typical spines of _Cortina_; an ascending apical tube and three
descending basal tubes (an odd caudal and two paired pectoral). The
helmet-shaped occipital lobe is about as large as the frontal half of the
cephalis, which is divided into three pairs of smaller pyriform lobes.
Thorax subspherical, about as large as the cephalis and half as large as
the inflated abdomen. Pores very scarce and small.
_Dimensions._--Length of the shell 0.15, breadth 0.08.
_Habitat._--Indian Ocean, Cocos Islands, Rabbe, surface.
Genus 494. _Botryocampe_,[111] Ehrenberg, 1860, Monatsber. d. k. preuss.
Akad. d. Wiss. Berlin, p. 829.
_Definition._--#Pylobotryida# without tubes on the cephalis, and with the
mouth of the abdomen closed.
The genus _Botryocampe_ may be derived from _Botryocyrtis_ by development
of a basal lattice-plate, closing the terminal mouth of the abdomen. It is
at the same time closely allied to the Tricyrtid _Theocapsa_, and may be
perhaps derived from this by lobation of the cephalis.

_Lithobotrys inflata_, Bailey, 1856, Amer. Journ. Sci. and Arts, vol.
xxii. p. 1, pl. i. fig. 15.
Cephalis trilobate, inflated, of about the same breadth and length as the
tun-shaped thorax and the hemispherical abdomen. Frontal lobes of the
cephalis ovate, a little smaller than the ovate odd occipital lobe. Pores
numerous and small.
_Dimensions._--Length of the shell 0.05 to 0.08, breadth 0.02 to 0.04.
_Habitat._--Cosmopolitan; Mediterranean, Atlantic, Pacific, Stations 267 to
274, 241, 354, &c., surface, and in various depths.
2. _Botryocampe theocapsa_, n. sp.
Cephalis trilobate, half as long as the campanulate thorax, and one-third
as long as the ovate abdomen. Frontal lobes subspherical, scarcely half as
long as the helmet-shaped occipital lobe. Pores very small and scarce.
_Dimensions._--Length of the shell 0.12, breadth 0.04.
_Habitat._--South Atlantic, Station 335, depth 1425 fathoms.
