Shell campamilate, smooth, with three high fenestrated crests and deep collar stricture. Length 

 of the three joints = 1:3:1, breadth =1:4:3. Cephalis subspherical, with a slender horn of the 

 same length. Thorax inflated, campanulate, with three vaulted swellings between the three curved 

 ribs. Abdomen short, with three semicircular bays between the three feet. Pores of the whole 

 shell regular, circular, small, and numerous. Feet broad, triangular, shorter than the thorax, with 

 convex back and convergent ends. 



Dimensions. — Length of the three joints, « 0-015, h 0'06, c 0-2 ; breadth, a 002, h 0-08, c 0-07. 



Hahitat. — Western Tropical Pacific, Philippine Sea, 3300 fathoms (Brooke). 



10. Pterocanium tricolimm, u. sp. (PL 73, fig. 1). 



Shell nearly three-sided prismatic, smooth, with three high fenestrated crests and two deep 

 strictures. Length of the three joints = 1 : 3 : 2, breadth =1:5:5. Cephalis subspherical, with an 

 oblique, conical horn of the same leng-th. Thorax inflated, with three highly vaulted bosoms between 

 the three high crests, and with subregular, circular pores. Abdomen shorter, with three concave 

 (or nearly rectangular, square) Ijasal bays between the three feet, and with irregular, roundish pores, 

 three to four pairs of larger pores occurring at the sides of the base of the feet. Feet nearly as long as 

 the shell, with fenestrated bases, nearly straight and parallel ; somewhat convergent, with convex back. 

 (Often the concave bays between the three feet are not square, as in the specimen figured, but semi-
