13. Podocyrtis veniricosa, Ehrenberg. 



Podocyrtis veniricosa, Ehrenberg, 1875, Abhandl. d. k. Akad. d. Wiss. Berlin, p. 82, Taf. xvi. 

 fig. 3. 



Shell conical, with two deep strictures, thorny. Length of the three joints = 1:2:5, breadth = 

 1:4:8. Cephalis subspherical, with a small conical horn of the same length. Pores regular 

 circidar, quincuncial, four to six times as broad in the inflated abdomen as in the hemispherical 

 thorax. (Pores much larger and less numerous than in the similar preceding species.) Feet broad 

 and stout, triangular, divergent, as long as the thorax. 



Divicnsions. — Length of the three joints, a 0-02, I 0-04, c Ol ; breadth, a 0-025, I O'OV, c 016. 



Habitat. — Fossil in Barbados. 



14. Podocyrtis flosculata, u. sp. (PL 72, fig. 9). 



Shell conical, rough, as broad as long, with distinct coUar, but obliterated kunbar stricture. 

 Length of the three joints = 1:2:4, breadth = 2:4:7. Cephalis hemispherical, with a thick 

 conical horn of the same length. Thorax truncate, conical, with small, circular, quincuncial pores. 

 Abdomen inflated, with very large and remarkable regular, quincuncial pores ; their inner edge 

 cu'cular, the outer six-lobed, the six lobes elegantly alternating with six short conical spines. Feet 

 very coarse, equilateral triangular, half as broad as the thorax, little divergent. 



Dimensions. — Length of the three joints, a 0-02, I 0-04, c O'OS ; breadth, a 0-04, I O'OS, c 014. 



Habitat. — Central Pacific, Station 268, depth 2900 fathoms. 



15. Podocyrtis centriscus, Ehrenberg, 



Podocyrtis centriscus, Ehrenberg, 1875, Abhandl. d. k. Akad. d. AViss. Berhn, p. 80, Taf. xiv. 

 fig. 2. 



Shell conical, rough, about as high as broad, with two obliterated strictures. Length of the 

 three joints = 1 : 2 : 4, breadth = 1 : 4: 7. Cephalis small, hemispherical, with a stout conical horn. 

 Pores of the inflated abdomen iiTCgular, roundish, very large, three occurring in the course of its 

 length, five times as broad as the small, very numerous, regidar, circular pores of the conical thorax. 

 Feet S-shaped, as long as the abdomen, with the blunt end curved outwards. 



Dimensions. — Length of the three joints, a 0-02, b 0-04, c O'OS ; breadth, a 0-02, b 0-08, c 014. 



Habitat. — Central Pacific, Station 266, depth 2750 fathoms ; fossil in Barbados. 



16. Podocyrtis magnijica, n. sp. (PL 72, fig. 5). 



Shell conical, spiny, a little longer than broad, with two distinct strictures. Length of the three 

 joints =1:2:5, breadth = 2:4:7. CephaUs hemispherical, with a large conical horn, which is as 

 long as the abdomen, nearly scaly, and covered with short, simple, and bifid spines. Pores 

 regular, circular, quincunciaUy disposed, four times as broad in the inflated abdomen as in th3
