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._--#Archiphormida# (vel Monocyrtida multiradiata aperta) with
simple, slender, pyramidal shell, and numerous radial beams (six to nine or
more). Network double, with a delicate arachnoidal fenestration, filling up
the large quadrangular meshes.
The genus _Cinclopyramis_ differs from the preceding _Bathropyramis_ in the
development of a very delicate secondary network, filling up the large
quadrangular meshes, which are produced by the crossing of the radial beams
and the parallel horizontal rings. It therefore bears the same relation to
the preceding genus that _Plectopyramis_ does to _Sethopyramis_; it is
perhaps derived directly from the former by loss of the small cephalis.
1. _Cinclopyramis cribellum_, n. sp.
_Cinclopyramis cribellum_ = "Ladder of lattice-shape," Bury, 1862,
Polycystins of Barbados, pl. xii. fig. 6.
Shell slender, pyramidal, with six strong radial ribs, which are connected
by twelve to sixteen complete horizontal rings. Meshes trapezoidal, filled
up by a very delicate and regular secondary network with square porules
(two to four horizontal threads in each larger mesh).
_Dimensions._--Shell 0.2 to 0.3 long, 0.12 to 0.16 broad.
_Habitat._--Fossil in Barbados.
2. _Cinclopyramis infundibulum_, n. sp. (Pl. 54, fig. 7).
Shell slender, pyramidal, with nine strong radial ribs, which are connected
by eighteen to twenty-four complete horizontal rings. Meshes subregular
square, filled up by a very delicate and regular secondary network with
square porules (ten to twelve horizontal threads in each larger mesh). Apex
of the pyramid with three very small cortinar pores.
_Dimensions._--Shell 0.3 to 0.4 long, 0.2 to 0.25 broad.
_Habitat._--Tropical Atlantic, Station 338, depth 1990 fathoms.
{1162}3. _Cinclopyramis lithosestrum_, n. sp.
Shell slender, pyramidal, with twelve strong radial ribs (six primary
longer and six secondary shorter) connected by twelve to fifteen
interrupted irregular rings. Meshes irregular square or trapezoidal, filled
up by a delicate secondary network with irregular polygonal porules.
_Dimensions._--Shell 0.4 to 0.5 long, 0.2 to 0.3 broad.
_Habitat._--Fossil in Barbados.
Genus 513. _Peripyramis_,[130] Haeckel, 1881, Prodromus, p. 428.
_Definition._--#Archiphormida# (vel Monocyrtida multiradiata aperta) with
double, slenderly pyramidal shell, and numerous radial beams (six to nine
or more). Network double, with an external arachnoidal or spongy envelope
around the primary lattice-shell.
The genus _Peripyramis_ differs from its probable ancestral form,
_Bathropyramis_, by development of a delicate external envelope around the
primary shell, and therefore bears to it the same relation that
_Spongopyramis_ among the Dicyrtida does to _Sethopyramis_. It may also be
derived directly from the former by loss of the cephalis.
1. _Peripyramis circumtexta_, n. sp. (Pl. 54, fig. 5).
