REPORT ON THE RADIOLARTA. 291 



1. Cenellipsis lyrimitiva, n. sp. 



Proportion of the longer axis of the eUipsoid to the shorter = 3 : 2. Network of the thin wall 

 very delicate and regular, with hexagonal pores. All pores of nearly the same size and form, ten to 

 twelve times as broad as the bars ; nine to twelve on the half equator of the shell. Surface smooth. 



Dimensions. — Longer axis of the elUpsoid 0-09 to Oil, shorter axis 0-06 to 0-08; pores 0-01, 

 bars between them O'OOl. 



Habitat. — Pacific, central area, Station 272, surface. 



2. Cenellipsis faceta, u. sp. (PI. 39, fig. 1). 



Proportion of the longer axis of the ellipsoid to the shorter = 4:3. Network of the thin wall 

 delicate and regular. All the pores of the same size and form, circular, with a hexagonal frame, twice 

 to three times as broad as the bars ; eight to ten on the half equator. Surface smooth or slightly 

 spiny. 



Biinensions. — Longer axis of the ellipsoid 012 to 013, shorter axis 0-09 to 01 ; pores D'OIS, 

 bars 0-005. 



Habitat. — Pacific, central area. Station 274, surface. 



3. Cenellipsis ehrenhcrgii, Haeckel. 



Haliomma (?) cenosplmra, Ehrenherg, 1875, AbhanJl. d. k. Akad. d. Wiss. Berlin, p. 74, 

 Taf. xxvi. fig. 5. 



Proportion of the longer axis to the shorter = 2 : L Network of the thin wall regular or sub- 

 regular. All pores circular, nearly of the same size, without hexagonal frame, three to four times as 

 broad as the bars; eight to nine on the half equator. Surface covered with small thorns. 



Dimensions. — Longer axis of the eUip.soid 016 to 02, shorter axis 08 to 01; pores 01, 

 bars 0-003. 



Habitat. — Fossil in the Tertiary rocks of Barbados (Ehrenberg, Haeckel). 



4. Cenellipsis circopora, n. sp. 



Proportion of the longer axis to the shorter = 5:3. Network of the thin wall dehcate and 

 regular. All pores circular, nearly of the same size, without hexagonal frame, twice as broad as the 

 bars ; fifteen to twenty on the half equator. Surface quite smooth. 



Dimensions. — Longer axis of the ellipsoid 0-15 to 0-2, shorter axis 0-09 to 0-12 ; pores O'OS, 

 bars 0-4. 



Habitat. — North Pacific, Station 236, surface. 



5. Cenellipsis micropora, n. sp. 



Proportion of the longer axis to the shorter = 5 : 4. Network of the thick wall quite regular. 

 All pores circuk)-, without hexagonal frame, very small, scarcely half as broad as the bars ; six to 

 eight on the half equator. Surface ipiite smooth.
