1124 THE VOYAGE OF H.M.S. CHALLENGEE. 



5. Botryocampe camerata, n. sp. (PL 96, fig. 24). 



Cephalis multilobate, about as long and half as broad as the irregularly campanulate thorax, 

 which is half as long as the subspherical large abdomen. Occipital lobe of the cephalis helmet- 

 shaped, larger than its uviform frontal part, which is divided into six to eight small subspherical 

 lobes. In the interior of the thorax and abdomen irregularly branched rods are visible, which 

 divide their inner space into compartments or incomplete chambers. Pores large, regular, 

 circular, hexagonally framed. 



DimmsioTis. — Length of the shell 015, breadth 0'09. 



Ealitat. — Central Pacific. Station 271, depth 2425 fathoms. 



Genus 495. Pliormohotrys,'^ Haeckel, 1881, Prodromtis, p. 440. 



Definition. — P ylobotryida with tubes on the cephalis, and with the mouth 

 of the abdomen closed. 



The genus Phormohotrys differs fi'om the similar and closely allied Pylobotrys in 

 the development of a basal lattice-plate closing the terminal mouth of the thorax, and 

 corresponds therefore to Lithohotrys among the Lithobotryida. As in the latter and in 

 Cannohotrys, &c., so here in Phormohotrys, different subgenera may be distinguished, 

 according to the different number and disposition of the radial tubes which become 

 developed from the lobate cephalis. 



1. Phormohotrys trithalamia, n. sp. (PI. 96, fig. 26). 



Cephalis trilobate, with a single apical tube, which is only one-third as long, spindle-shaped, 

 pointed, with frontal opening. Frontal lobes ovate, two-thirds as long as the helmet-shaped 

 occipital lobe. Internal frontal septum of the cephalis with four large pores. Thorax cylindrical, 

 twice as long as the hemispherical abdomen. Pores small and numerous, irregular, roundish. 



DimensioTis. — Length of the shell 0'16, breadth O^OS. 



Hahitat. — Central Pacific, Station 266, depth 2750 fathoms. 



2. Phormohotrys pentathalamia, n. sp. (PI. 96, fig. 27). 



Cephalis quinquelobate, with a single conical apical tube of the same length, which has an 

 obliquely truncate frontal opening. Odd frontal and paired buccal lobes smaller than the sternal 

 and the occipital lobe. Internal frontal septum with six large pores. Thorax inflated, a little 

 larger than the subspherical abdomen. Pores subregular, circular. 



Dimensions. — Length of the shell 0'15, breadth 0"08. 



Habitat— Central Pacific, Station 272, depth 2600 fathoms.
