of eacli chamber. Kadial spines between them conical, about as long as the pores. Medullary shells 

 both spherical.

 pores 0-012, bars 0-004.

8. Cijplioniwn facettarium, n. sp. 



Didymocyrtis facettaria, Haeckel, 1881, Prodromus. 



Cortical shell thick walled, with spiny surface ; pores subregular, circular, with elevated hexa- 

 gonal frames, twice as broad as the bars ; eight to nine on the half meridian, fourteen to sixteen 

 on the half equator of each chamber. In the corners of the hexagons (between every three me-shes) 

 arise radial spines, about twice as long as the pores. Both medullary shells spheroidal compressed. 

 (This species is nearly identical witli the internal cortical twin-sliell of Peripanartus ampliiconiscvs, 

 PL 40, fig. 5.) 



Dimensions. — Main axis 0-12, equatorial axis O'OV ; greatest breadth of both chambers 0-09 ;

Cortical shell thick walled, with spiny surface ; pores regular, circular, about as broad as 

 the bars ; seven to eight on the half meridian of each chamber, thirteen to fifteen on its half 

 equator. Padial spines Ijetween them conical, twice as long as the pores. Medullary shells both 

 lenticular. 



Dimensions. — Main axis 0-11, equatorial axis 0-06 ; greatest breadth 0-08 ; pores and bars 0-004.

Cortical shell thin walled, with thorny surface ; pores irregular, polygonal, three to six tunes 

 as broad as the thin bars ; five to six on the half meridian of each chamber, ten to twelve on its 

 lialf equator. Thonis of the surface short. Medullary shells both spherical.
