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 smooth, flat, three-sided pyramidal, with deep collar stricture, very
similar to the preceding species. Relative length of the two joints =
1 : 3, breadth = 2 : 7. Cephalis hemispherical, with a slender conical horn
of twice the length. Thorax flatly vaulted, with irregular polygonal pores
and thin bars; and with three widely divergent ribs, which are prolonged
into three slender prismatic feet of thrice the length. In fig. 6 the shell
is seen from the base and exhibits very distinctly the collar septum with
its four large meshes, two minor jugular and two major cardinal pores.
_Dimensions._--Cephalis 0.03 long, 0.07 broad; thorax 0.08 long, 0.2 broad.
_Habitat._--North Pacific, Station 236, surface.

_Lychnocanium lucerna_, Ehrenberg, 1854, Mikrogeol., Taf. xxxvi. fig. 6;
Abhandl. d. k. Akad. d. Wiss. Berlin, 1875, p. 80, Taf. viii. fig. 3.
_Lychnocanium lucerna_, Haeckel, 1862, Monogr. d. Radiol., p. 311.
Shell smooth, three-sided pyramidal, with slight collar stricture. Relative
length of the two joints = 1 : 4, breadth = 1 : 4. Cephalis hemispherical,
with a thick conical horn of twice the length. Thorax with small regular,
circular pores and three flat sides; between these arise three rounded
ribs, which are prolonged into three short, conical, divergent feet,
one-third as long as the thorax.
_Dimensions._--Cephalis 0.02 long, 0.025 broad; thorax 0.08 long, 0.08
broad.
_Habitat._--Fossil in Barbados.
15. _Dictyophimus hamosus_, Haeckel.
_Lychnocanium hamosum_, Ehrenberg, 1875, Abhandl. d. k. Akad. d. Wiss.
Berlin, p. 78, Taf. vii. fig. 9.
Shell pear-shaped, rough, with deep collar stricture. Relative length of
the two joints = 1 : 2, breadth = 1 : 3. Cephalis subglobular, with a
conical horn of twice the length. Thorax with small, regular, circular
pores, and with three prominent ribs, prolonged into three vertical
prismatic feet, which are about as long as the shell, parallel or a little
convergent towards the distal end, with recurved teeth or hooks at the
lateral edges.
_Dimensions._--Cephalis 0.02 long, 0.02 broad; thorax 0.04 long, 0.06
broad.
_Habitat._--Fossil in Barbados.
16. _Dictyophimus tridentatus_, Haeckel.
_Lychnocanium tridentatum_, Ehrenberg, 1875, Abhandl. d. k. Akad. d.
Wiss. Berlin, p. 80, Taf. vii. fig. 4.
Shell smooth, three-sided pyramidal, with deep collar stricture. Relative
length of the two joints = 1 : 3, breadth = 1 : 4. Cephalis subspherical,
with a conical horn of the same length, and some small accessory thorns.
Thorax tetrahedral, with three smooth hyaline walls, bearing only a single
series of small pores on each side of the three prominent ribs, which are
prolonged into three strong prismatic curved feet of twice the length, with
the convexity external. A group of small pores and a strong triangular
tooth at the base of each foot.
_Dimensions._--Cephalis 0.02 long, 0.02 broad; thorax 0.06 long, 0.08
broad.
