Radiolaria
The radial spines are completely enclosed in the rhombic
calymma, the surface of which is covered with small
plates, similar to those in the shell of the
Sphærocapsida.
Fig. 7. _Zygostaurus amphithectus_, n. sp., × 300 774
The square central capsule envelops the half skeleton.
Fig. 8. _Zygostaurus sagittalis_, n. sp., × 300 775
Fig. 9. _Lithoptera tetraptera_, n. sp., × 300 779
Fig. 10. _Lithoptera quadrata_, n. sp., × 300 780
The central part of the skeleton is enclosed by the
four-lobed central capsule.

Fig. 1. _Amphilonche lanceolata_, n. sp., × 300 783
Fig. 2. _Amphilonche hydrotomica_, n. sp., × 300 786
The spindle-shaped central capsule is filled up with small
granules. The clear calymma forms conical sheaths for
the spines, with myophriscs.
Fig. 3. _Amphilonche diodon_, n. sp., × 300 783
Fig. 4. _Amphilonche concreta_, n. sp., × 100 787
A complete specimen with the cylindrical central capsule.

Fig. 5. _Amphilonche violina_, n. sp., × 300 787
Fig. 6. _Amphilonche conica_, n. sp., × 300 785
The ellipsoidal central capsule contains numerous nuclei
and is enclosed by the calymma. The conical sheaths of
the latter include the radial spines completely and
exhibit coronets of myophriscs.
Fig. 7. _Acantholonche amphipolaris_, n. sp., × 200 790
Fig. 8. _Acantholonche peripolaris_, n. sp., × 300 791
Fig. 9. _Amphibelone pyramidata_, n. sp., × 300 789
Fig. 10. _Amphibelone cultellata_, n. sp., × 400 789
The central capsule contains numerous spherical nuclei and
is enclosed by the hyaline calymma, which forms conical
sheaths around the spines.
Fig. 11. _Stauracantha johannis_, n. sp., × 400 763
Basal part of a radial spine, exhibiting the peculiar
torsion of the basal leaf-cross and the central apex.
Fig. 12. _Astrolophus solaris_, n. sp., × 200 732
Fig. 12_a_. A group of larger and smaller radial spines
united in the centre.
Fig. 12_b_. Three isolated spines (one larger and two
smaller), × 200
