16. Haliomma longispiniim, J. Miiller. 



Haliomma longispinum, J. Miiller, 1858, Abhandl. d. k. Akad. d. Wiss. Berlin, p. 39, Taf iv. 



fig. 8. 

 Halioiiiina lo7>gispiniim, Haeckel, 1862, Monogr. d. Eadiol., p. 431. 



Cortical shell thick walled, three times as broad as the dark medullary shell. Pores regular, 

 circular, hexagonaUy framed, twice as. broad as the bars ; four to six on the radius. Twenty radial 

 spines, very long, regularly disposed, four to five times as long as the diameter of the shell, three- 

 sided prismatic, with elegantly dentated edges, as broad as one cortical mesh. 



Dimensions. — Diameter of the outer shell 0-08, of the inner 0-03 ; pores of the former O'Ol, bars 

 0-005 ; length of the spines O'S to 0-4. 



Habitat. — Mediterranean (Nice) ; Central Pacific, Station 272, surface. 



17. Haliomma capense, n. sp. 



Cortical shell thick walled, twice as broad as the meduUary shell, both with regular, circular pores, 

 twice as broad as the bars ; eight to ten on the radius of the outer, four to six on the radius of the 

 inner shell. Forty to sixty radial spines, conical, as long as the radius, as broad as one cortical pore. 



Dimensions. — Diameter of the outer shell Oil, of the inner 0-0.5 ; pores of the former 0-01, bars 

 0-005 ; length of the spines 0-006, basal breadth 0-012. 



Eahitat. — Cape of Good Hope, Station 142, surface. 



18. Haliomma denticulatum, n. sp. 



Cortical shell thick walled, three times as broad as the dark medullary shell, with regular, 

 circular, double-edged pores, of the same breadth as the bars ; eight to ten on the radius. Thirty to 

 fifty radial spines, three-sided pyramidal, half as long as the radius, with three denticulated edges. 

 (Very similar to Actinomma denticulatum, PI. 29, fig. 3, but with simple medullary shell.) 



Dimensions. — Diameter of the outer shell 0-12, inner 0-04 ; pores and bars of the former 0-008 ; 

 length of the spines 0-04, basal breadth 0-01. 



Habitat. — North Pacific, Station 244, depth 2900 fathoms. 



19. Haliomma grande, n. sp. 



Cortical shell thick walled, five rimes as broad as the dark medullary shell, with small, regular, 

 circular pores, half as broad as the bars ; twenty to twenty-four on the radius. One hundred to one 

 hundred and twenty conical radial spines, five times as long as broad, only half as long as the 

 radius. 



Dimensio7is. — Diameter of the outer shell 0-4, inner 0-08 ; pores of the oxiter 0-006, bars 0-012 ; 

 length of the spines 0-1, basal breadth 0-02. 



Habitat. — Ecj^uatorial Atlantic, Station 348, depth 2450 fathoms.
