Radiolaria
Fig. 7_a_. The astropyle, partly detached from the wall of
the central capsule, seen in profile, × 800
Fig. 8. _Catinulus quadrifidus_, n. sp., × 80 1553
A complete specimen, with four equal central capsules,
united in a single spherical calymma.
Fig. 8_a_. Some single pieces of the skeleton, × 400

PLATE 118.
LEGION PHÆODARIA.
Order PHÆOGROMIA.
Family MEDUSETTIDA.
Fig. 1. _Gazelletta melusina_, n. sp., × 300 1674
From the peristome of the thorny campanulate shell arise
six large descending feet, which are studded with
arborescent fragile lateral branches, and armed at the
distal end with stouter dichotomous terminal branches.
Fig. 2. _Euphysetta staurocodon_, n. sp., × 300 1670
The peristome of the ovate shell bears an odd large foot
with three terminal branches and three cruciate
rudimentary feet. In the upper part of the shell-cavity
is visible the sphæroidal central capsule (containing a
nucleus of half the size, with numerous nucleoli); in
the lower half the dark pigment-masses of the green
phæodium.
Fig. 3. _Euphysetta amphicodon_, n. sp., × 300 1670
The shell-wall exhibits the regular alveolate structure.
From the mouth are prominent large masses of the
phæodium, which is more voluminous than the
shell-cavity, and seems to contain nucleated cells.

PLATE 119.
LEGION PHÆODARIA.
Order PHÆOGROMIA.
Family MEDUSETTIDA.
Fig. 1. _Gorgonetta mirabilis_, n. sp., × 100 1674
The entire body. From the margin of the cap-shaped shell
arise six ascending arborescent feet and six
alternating descending feet, which are covered with
anchor-pencils and branched at the distal end. From the
mouth of the delicately alveolate shell depend
prominent parts of the dark voluminous phæodium.
Fig. 2. _Gorgonetta mirabilis_, n. sp., × 300 1674
The distal end of an ascending foot; the branches bear a
terminal spathilla with small recurved teeth.
Fig. 3. _Gorgonetta mirabilis_, n. sp., × 300 1674
The distal end of a descending foot, with three lateral
anchor-pencils and three terminal branches (broken
off). Odd alveole contains an air-bubble.
Fig. 4. _Gorgonetta mirabilis_, n. sp., × 600 1674
A single thread of an anchor-pencil with two quadridentate
spathillæ, a larger proximal and a smaller distal
(terminal).
