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
Shell slender, conical, with curved axis; the curve lies in one plane as in
the similar _Cornutella curvata_; the pores are smaller and more numerous
than in this latter species, and the rounded apex bears no horn.
_Dimensions._--Shell 0.12 to 0.16 long, 0.05 to 0.07 broad.
_Habitat._--South Pacific, Station 300, depth 1375 fathoms.
3. _Cornutanna loxoconus_, n. sp.
Shell wide, conical, with irregularly curved axis; the parts of the curve
do not lie in one plane. Pores very small and numerous, of nearly equal
size.
_Dimensions._--Shell 0.2 long, 0.12 broad.
_Habitat._--Tropical Pacific, Station 225, depth 4475 fathoms.
Genus 528. _Archicorys_,[145] Haeckel, 1881, Prodromus, p. 427.
_Definition._--#Archicorida# with simple urceolate or ovate shell,
constricted towards the mouth. Apex armed with a horn.
The genus _Archicorys_ and the following closely allied _Cyrtocalpis_
differ from the two preceding genera in the ovate or urceolate form of the
shell, which is more or less constricted towards the terminal mouth. The
upper pole in _Archicorys_ bears an apical horn, which is absent in
_Cyrtocalpis_. The origin of these two genera may be the same, probably
arising directly from Nassellida, and independently of the triradiate
#Cyrtoidea# or bilocular #Spyroidea#. (Compare p. 1179.)
1. _Archicorys galea_, n. sp.
Shell smooth urceolate. Pores large, in the middle part hexagonal, towards
both ends smaller and polygonal. Apical horn stout, three-sided pyramidal,
half as long as the shell. Mouth with a short tubular peristome, about
one-third as broad as the shell.
_Dimensions._--Shell (without horn) 0.15 long, 0.12 broad; horn 0.07 long,
mouth 0.05 broad.
_Habitat._--Central Pacific, Station 272, depth 2600 fathoms.
2. _Archicorys ampulla_, n. sp.
Shell smooth, thin-walled, bottle-shaped, in the upper half conical, in the
lower half inflate, subspherical. Pores subregular, circular, of the same
breadth as the bars. Horn conical, stout, {1185}/about one-third as long as
the shell. Mouth truncate, without peristome, about half as broad as the
shell.
_Dimensions._--Shell 0.15 long, 0.1 broad; horn 0.05, mouth 0.05.
_Habitat._--Central Pacific, Station 268, depth 2900 fathoms.
3. _Archicorys microstoma_, n. sp. (Pl. 51, fig. 12).
Shell rough, thick-walled, ovate. Pores large, subregular, circular, twice
to four times as broad as the bars. Horn small, conical, not larger than
one pore. Mouth very small, truncate, scarcely larger than one pore.
_Dimensions._--Shell 0.1 long, 0.07 broad; horn 0.012, mouth 0.015.
_Habitat._--Western Tropical Pacific, Station 225, depth 4475 fathoms.
4. _Archicorys globosa_, n. sp.
Shell nearly spherical, thorny, thick-walled. Pores very large, circular,
separated by spinulate frames, smaller towards each pole. Horn conical,
large, nearly as long as the radius of the shell; mouth truncate, simple,
about one-third as broad as the shell.
_Dimensions._--Shell diameter 0.13, horn 0.06, mouth 0.04.
