Radiolaria
Shell campanulate, smooth, with irregular polygonal pores. Basal plate with
six pores (two large cardinal, two smaller jugular and two still smaller
cervical pores). Columella with a single verticil of three ascending
lateral branches (by mistake not distinct in the figure). Apical horn and
the three feet of the same form and size, slender, prismatic, twice to
three times as long as the shell, straight, in the distal half with three
slender recurved branches, anchor-shaped.
_Dimensions._--Shell 0.05 long, 0.04 broad; horn and feet 0.1 to 0.15 long.
_Habitat._--Central Pacific, Station 274, depth 2750 fathoms.
3. _Cladoscenium gladiatum_, n. sp.
Shell subspherical, with irregular polygonal pores. Basal plate with three
large pores. Columella with two verticils of three ascending lateral
branches. Apical horn as long as the columella, three-sided prismatic. Feet
of the same form, twice as long, in the distal half with two opposite
transverse branches, sword-shaped.
_Dimensions._--Shell 0.05 long, 0.06 broad; horn 0.04 long, feet 0.1 long.
_Habitat._--Western Tropical Pacific, Station 225, depth 4475 fathoms.
4. _Cladoscenium pinnatum_, n. sp.
Shell campanulate, with irregular polygonal pores. Basal plate with four
pores (two major cardinal and two minor jugular). Columella with two
verticils of three ascending lateral branches, and prolonged into a slender
prismatic apical horn of twice the length, which bears four such verticils.
Feet twice as long as the horn, pinnate, each with four or five pairs of
opposite lateral branches, decreasing towards the thin distal end.
_Dimensions._--Shell 0.06 long, 0.05 broad; horn 0.1 long, feet 0.2 long.
_Habitat._--Tropical Atlantic, Station 347, depth 2250 fathoms.
5. _Cladoscenium verticillatum_, n. sp.
Shell campanulate, with subregular square pores. Basal plate with nine
pores (three larger central and six smaller distal). Columella with three
verticils of three ascending lateral branches. Apical horn and the three
basal feet of equal size and similar form, four to six times as long as the
columella, three-sided prismatic, each with four to five verticils of three
lateral branches, which are {1150}irregularly ramified and tapering towards
the distal end. (Similar to _Clathrocorys teuscheri_, Pl. 64, fig. 10, but
with four free spines, without connecting lattice-wings.)
_Dimensions._--Shell 0.07 long, 0.06 broad; horn and feet 0.2 to 0.25 long.
_Habitat._--Central Pacific, Station 271, depth 2425 fathoms.
6. _Cladoscenium pectinatum_, n. sp. (Pl. 98, fig. 2).
Shell subspherical, with irregular roundish pores. Basal plate with three
large holes. Columella with two verticils of three ascending lateral
branches. Apical horn and the three feet of nearly the same size and form,
three to four times as long as the columella, straight, three-sided
prismatic, each with five to eight verticils of three simple lateral
branches, tapering towards the distal end.
