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
_Dimensions._--Height of the frontal ring 0.15, breadth 0.25.
_Habitat._--Tropical Atlantic, Station 347, depth 2250 fathoms.
Subgenus 4. _Hexacoronis_, Haeckel
_Definition._--Basal ring with six radial descending feet (two sagittal,
two pectoral, and two tergal feet).
{982}6. _Podocoronis hexapodiscus_, n. sp.
Basal ring violin-shaped, with six conical, vertically descending feet,
half as long as the sagittal ring; two of them are sagittal (arising from
the two basal corners of the sagittal ring, caudal and sternal feet); the
other four are lateral, and prolongations of the forked basal parts of the
frontal ring, which is inserted on the basal ring with two forked branches;
the anterior correspond to the pectoral, the posterior to the tergal feet
of _Hexaspyris_. All the rings are thorny.
_Dimensions._--Height of the frontal ring 0.11, breadth 0.17.
_Habitat._--South Pacific, Station 295, depth 1500 fathoms.
Subgenus 5. _Stylocoronis_, Haeckel.
_Definition._--Basal ring with numerous (eight to twelve or more)
descending feet.
7. _Podocoronis petalospyris_, n. sp.
Basal ring violin-shaped, with ten to twelve flat lamellar, vertically
descending feet, about as long as the ovate sagittal ring. Frontal ring
twice as broad as long, elliptical. All rings nearly smooth. Similar to a
_Petalospyris_ without lattice-work.
_Dimensions._--Height of the frontal ring 0.1, breadth 0.2.
_Habitat._--Fossil in Barbados.
8. _Podocoronis polypodiscus_, n. sp.
Basal ring elliptical, with fifteen to eighteen conical, curved, descending
feet, half as long as the ovate sagittal ring. Frontal ring kidney-shaped,
one and a half times as broad as long. All the rings armed with short
conical spines.
_Dimensions._--Height of the frontal ring 0.12, breadth 0.18.
_Habitat._--Central Pacific, Station 273, depth 2350 fathoms.
Subfamily 4. TRISSOCYCLIDA, Haeckel, 1881, Prodromus, p. 446.
_Definition._--#Coronida# with eight large gates (four superior lateral and
four inferior basal). Skeleton composed of three complete rings,
perpendicular to one another; two of which are vertical (the primary or
sagittal and the secondary or frontal ring), the third is horizontal (the
tertiary or basal ring).
Genus 421. _Tristephanium_,[40] Haeckel, 1881, Prodromus, p. 445.
_Definition._--#Coronida# with eight large, simple gates of different
sizes; the four upper or lateral gates larger than the four lower or basal
gates. Skeleton composed of three simple complete rings, perpendicular to
one another.
