Radiolaria
Shell spiny, ovate, inflate in the apical half. Pores irregular polygonal,
four to eight times as broad as the bars. Peristome constricted, half as
broad as the shell, with nine slender divergent feet, which like the apical
horn are curved, twice to three times as long as the shell and five to ten
times as long as the numerous bristles of the surface.
_Dimensions._--Shell 0.08 long, 0.06 broad; feet 0.15 to 0.25 long.
_Habitat._--Central Pacific, Station 271, depth 2425 fathoms.
7. _Halicalyptra castanella_, n. sp.
Shell spiny, nearly spherical. Pores irregular roundish. Peristome
constricted, scarcely one-third as broad as the shell, with twelve to
twenty slender, widely divergent feet, which like the horn are irregularly
curved, and longer than the shell. (Very similar to certain forms of the
Phæodarium _Castanella_, Pl. 113, fig. 2.)
_Dimensions._--Shell 0.13 diameter, feet 0.15 to 0.18 long.
_Habitat._--Central Pacific, Station 272, depth 2600 fathoms.
Genus 520. _Carpocanistrum_,[137] n. gen.
_Definition._--#Archiphormida# (vel Monocyrtida multiradiata aperta)
without radial ribs in the wall of the campanulate or ovate shell. Mouth
with a corona of radial feet. Apex without horn.
The genus _Carpocanistrum_ differs from the similar preceding
_Halicalyptra_ in the loss of the apical horn. It is very nearly related to
the Dicyrtid _Carpocanium_ and may be easily confounded with it. But in the
latter the uppermost part of the shell-cavity includes a rudimentary
cephalis with a cortinar septum, whilst in _Carpocanistrum_ {1171}the
cephalis is entirely lost, and the inner cavity quite simple. The number of
the feet of the peristome is from nine to twenty, sometimes more. The mouth
is commonly more or less constricted.
1. _Carpocanistrum novenum_, n. sp.
Shell ovate, smooth, one and a third times as long as broad. Pores regular
circular, hexagonally framed, three times as broad as the bars, eight to
ten on the greatest breadth of the shell. Peristome strongly constricted,
one-third as broad as the shell, with nine large ovate lamellar, slightly
convergent feet.
_Dimensions._--Shell 0.08 long, 0.06 broad; mouth 0.02 broad.
_Habitat._--South Atlantic, Station 325, surface.
2. _Carpocanistrum flosculum_, n. sp. (Pl. 52, fig. 9).
Shell campanulate, rough, thick-walled, of equal breadth and length. Pores
regular circular, of the same breadth as the bars, twelve to fifteen on the
greatest breadth of the shell. Peristome slightly constricted, with twelve
elegant lanceolate, nearly vertical, a little convergent feet.
_Dimensions._--Shell 0.07 long, 0.07 broad; mouth 0.05 broad.
_Habitat._--Equatorial Atlantic, Station 347, surface.
3. _Carpocanistrum giganteum_, n. sp.
