Radiolaria
_Habitat._--Central Pacific, Station 272, depth 2600 fathoms.
{1160}3. _Bathropyramis trapezoides_, n. sp. (Pl. 54, fig. 3).
Shell smooth, broadly pyramidal, with four cortinar pores at the apex and
eight (or sometimes nine) stout radial beams, connected by twelve to
sixteen complete octagonal horizontal rings. Meshes trapezoidal, of nearly
equal length, but gradually increasing in breadth.
_Dimensions._--Shell 0.3 long, 0.3 broad.
_Habitat._--Central Pacific, Station 265, depth 2900 fathoms.
4. _Bathropyramis interrupta_, n. sp. (Pl. 55, fig. 7).
Shell smooth, flatly pyramidal, nearly discoidal, with four cortinar pores
at the apex and nine to ten stout radial beams, connected by eight to
sixteen interrupted rings; the rings are complete only in the apical part,
in the distal part more or less irregularly interrupted.
_Dimensions._--Shell 0.12 long, 0.36 broad.
_Habitat._--North Atlantic, Station 354, surface.
5. _Bathropyramis medusa_, n. sp.
Shell smooth, flatly pyramidal, nearly discoidal, with four cortinar pores
and numerous radial beams (thirty to fifty); the four perradial of these
are prolongations of the four cortinar beams, and alternate with four
interradial of the same size. Between these are intercalated eight adradial
beams arising from the third ring; and between the former and the latter,
sixteen to twenty-four peripheral radial beams, arising from the fourth to
the sixth ring. The inner four to six rings are complete, the outer ten to
fifteen irregularly interrupted.
_Dimensions._--Shell 0.08 long, 0.3 to 0.4 broad.
_Habitat._--South Atlantic, Station 338, surface.
Subgenus 2. _Cladopyramis_, Haeckel, 1881, Prodromus, p. 428.
_Definition_.--Shell spiny, with prominent simple or branched spines on the
surface.
6. _Bathropyramis spinosa_, n. sp.
Shell spiny, slenderly pyramidal, with three cortinar pores at the apex and
with nine strong radial beams, connected by fifteen to twenty complete
parallel rings. Meshes subregular square, increasing gradually in size.
Surface covered with simple, strong conical spines, arising from the nodal
points.
_Dimensions._--Shell 0.24 long, 0.16 broad.
_Habitat._--North Pacific, Station 244, depth 2900 fathoms.
{1161}7. _Bathropyramis ramosa_, n. sp. (Pl. 54, fig. 4).
Shell spiny, slenderly pyramidal, with three cortinar pores at the apex,
and with nine (or sometimes eight or ten) strong radial beams, connected by
fifteen to eighteen complete parallel rings. Meshes subregular, square,
increasing gradually in size. Surface covered with forked or irregularly
branched spines, arising from the nodal points.
_Dimensions._--Shell 0.3 long, 0.17 broad.
_Habitat._--Tropical Atlantic, Station 347, depth 2250 fathoms.
Genus 512. _Cinclopyramis_,[129] Haeckel, 1881, Prodromus, p. 428.
