REPORT ON THE RADIOLARIA. 463 



3. Stylocyclia excavata, n. sp. (PI. 37, fig. 8). 



Phacoid shell four times as broad as the medullary shell, surrounded by four chambered rings, 

 which are divided by twenty to thirty radial beams into broad chambers. The height of the rings 

 increases strongly from the centre, so that the fourth ring is two and a half times as high as the 

 first. Pores irregular, roundish ; five to six on the radius of the phacoid shell, one to two on the 

 breadth of each ring. Margin of the disk smooth. Both marginal spines thin and long, cylindrical, 

 arisuig from the medullary shell, longer than the diameter of the disk. 



Dimensions. — Diameter of the disk (with four rings) 0-25, of the phacoid shell Oi, of the 

 medullary shell 0-025. 



Habitat. — Fossil in the rocks of Barbados. 



4. Stylocyclia amphacantha, n. sp. 



Phacoid shell twice as broad as the medullary shell, surrounded by five chambered rings, 

 divided by piercing beams each into forty to fifty chambers. Pores regular, circular ; eight to 

 nine on the radius of the phacoid shell, one single on each chamber. Margin of the disk thorny. 

 Both marginal spines strong, conical, as long as its radius. 



Dimension.^. — Diameter of the disk (with five rings) 0'24, of the phacoid shell O'l, of the 

 medullary shell O'Ou. 



Habitat. — Pacific, central area, Station 265, depth 2900 fathoms. 



Genus 199. AmphicycUa,^ Haeckel, 1881, Prodromus, p. 458. 



Definition. — C o c c o d i s c i d a with two opposite solid radial spines on the margin of 

 the circular disk. Medullary shell double. 



The genus Amphicyciia has the same form and structure as Stylocyclia, and differs 

 from it only in the double concentric medullary shell. It bears therefore to the latter 

 the same relation that Coccodisciis does to Lithocyclia. 



1. Amphici/clia chronomctra, n. sp. (PI. 38, fig. 1). 



Phacoid shell three times as broad as the outer and nine times as broad as the inner medullary 

 shell, surrounded by two broad chambered rings, which are divided into irregular chambers by fifty to 

 sixty radial beams of different distance. Margin of the disk thorny, lacerated. Pores irregular, 

 roundish ; twelve to sixteen on the radius of the phacoid shell, two to three on the breadth of each 

 ring. The two opposite marginal spines strong, prismatic, with prominent edges, about as long as 

 the diameter of the disk. 



Dimensions. — Diameter of the disk (with two rings) 0'24, of the phacoid shell O'l 5, outer 

 medullary shell 0'05, inner 001 7. 



Habitat. — Pacific, central area, Stations 265 to 268, depths 2700 to 2900 fathoms.
