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
_Definition._--Feet forked or branched.
6. _Euscenium furcatum_, n. sp.
Shell campanulate, smooth, with numerous irregular roundish pores. Basal
plate with nine pores (three larger central and six smaller distal). Horn
club-shaped, half as long as the columella. {1148}Feet twice as long,
cylindrical, parallel, vertical, forked at the distal end. (Similar to
_Tripospyris semantis_, Pl. 84, fig. 2, but without sagittal feet.)
_Dimensions._--Shell 0.07 long, 0.06 broad; horn 0.04 long, feet 0.1 long.
_Habitat._--Tropical Atlantic, Station 348, depth 2450 fathoms.
7. _Euscenium quadratum_, n. sp.
Shell campanulate, smooth with subregular square pores. Basal plate with
three large pores. Horn and feet of the same size and shape, twice as long
as the columella, three-sided prismatic, each with four or five verticils
of lateral branches. (Similar to the cephalis of _Clathrocorys murrayi_,
Pl. 64, fig. 8, but with four free spines without connecting
lattice-wings.)
_Dimensions._--Shell 0.06 long, 0.05 broad; horn and feet 0.12 long.
_Habitat._--Central Pacific, Station 272, surface.
8. _Euscenium ramosum_, n. sp.
Shell subspherical, rough, with small subregular circular pores. Basal
plate with nine pores (three larger central and six smaller distal pores).
Horn and feet of the same size and form, three to four times as long as the
columella, three-sided prismatic, irregularly branched.
_Dimensions._--Shell 0.06 diameter, horn and feet 0.15 to 0.2 long.
_Habitat._--Central Pacific, Station 271, depth 2425 fathoms.
Genus 505. _Cladoscenium_,[122] Haeckel, 1881, Prodromus, p. 429.
_Definition._--#Archiperida# (vel Monocyrtida triradiata clausa) with a
free branched internal columella, prolonged into an apical horn. Three
basal feet free, without lateral wings.
The genus _Cladoscenium_ differs from the preceding _Euscenium_ only in the
ramification of the internal columella, which bears one or more verticils
of three ascending lateral branches. The three branches of each verticil
lie in the same equidistant meridian planes as the three basal feet, and
are inserted with their distal ends on the inner surface of the simple
lattice-shell. The three feet are also branched, but without vertical
lattice-wings. _Cladoscenium_ is perhaps closely allied to _Clathrocorys_.
1. _Cladoscenium fulcratum_, n. sp.
Shell subspherical, smooth, with large irregular roundish pores. Basal
plate with three large pores. Columella with a single verticil of three
ascending lateral branches. Apical horn as long as the {1149}columella,
simple, three-sided prismatic. Feet twice as long, widely divergent,
straight, prismatic, with some irregular basal branches.
_Dimensions._--Shell 0.06 diameter, horn 0.05 long, feet 0.1 long.
_Habitat._--Central Pacific, Station 266, depth 2750 fathoms.
2. _Cladoscenium ancoratum_, n. sp. (Pl. 53, fig. 13).
