REPORT ON THE RADIOLARIA. 531 



4. Hymeniastrum euclidis, n. sp. (PI. 43, fig. 13). 



Euchitonia euclidis, Haeckel, 1881, Prodromus, p. 460 et Atlas (pi, xliii. fig. 13). 



Arms one and a half times as long as broad, club-shaped, three tunes as broad in the oval distal 

 part as in the narrow square proximal part. Patagium complete, enveloping tire whole triangular 

 disk, and also the convex ends of the arms, with eight to nine convex chamber-rows. 



Dimensions. — Eadius of tlie arms 018 ; breadth at the base 0-025, at the broadest distal 

 part 0-07. 



Habitat. — Pacific, central area. Stations 270 to 274, surface. 



5. Hi/meniastrum pythagorcB, Ehrenberg. 



Hymeniastrum pythagorw, Ehrenberg, 1854 (jpartim), MikrogeoL, Taf. xxxvi. fig. 31. 



Arms nearly as broad as long, two-thirds as broad at tlie base as at the truncated distal end. 

 Patagium incomplete, enveloping only the basal half of the arms, with four to five rectilinear parallel 

 chamber-rows. (This form has the greatest resemblance to the figure given by Ehrenberg, loc. cit, 

 but differs by the central disk, which is composed of two concentric rings surrounding the small 

 central chamber ; compare above Rymenactura pythagorm, p. 474.) 



Dimensions. — Eadius of the arms 018 ; breadth at the base O'OS, at the truncated end 012. 



Habitat. — Equatorial Atlantic, Station 347, depth 2250 fathoms. 



6. Hymeniastrum arcMmedis, n. sp. 



Arms nearly triangular, at the truncated, slightly convex end three times as broad as at the 

 narrow base, and one and a third times as broad as long ; each arm with six simple chambers. 

 Patagium incomplete, enveloping only the basal half of the arms, with three to four convex 

 chamber-rows. (Differs from Ehopalastrum hexayonum, PI. 43, fig. 7, only by the patagium.) 



Dimensions. — Eadius of the arms 0-2 ; breadth at the base 0-07, at the truncated end 0'2. 



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



Subgenus 2. Hymenastromma, Haeckel. 

 Definition. — Arms at the clistal eud provided with radial spines. 



7. Hymeniastrum ternarium, Haeckel. 



Histiastrum ternarium, Ehrenberg, 1875, Abhandl. d. k. Akad. d. Wiss. Berlin, p. 76, Taf. xxiv. 



fig. 2. 



Arms two and a half times as long as broad, three times as broad at the truncated end as at 

 the narrow base, with a strong, conical, radial sphie at the end. Patagium incomplete, envelopmg 

 only the basal half of the arms, with three to four convex chamber-rows. 



Dimensions. — Eadius of the arms (without terminal spme) 0'02 ; breadth at the base 0'025, at 

 the broadest terminal part O^OS. 



Habitat. — Fossil in the rocks of Barbados.
