REPORT ON THE RADIOLARIA. 239 



30. Haliomma compactum, n. sp. (PL 28, figs. 5, 5a). 



Cortical shell very thick walled, four times as broad as the thin walled medullary shell ; pores 

 of the former irregular, roundish, with high polygonal frames of very different size, twice to four times 

 as broad as the bars. Inner shell with simple, small, polygonal pores, connected with the outer shell 

 by eight (?) regularly disposed thin radial beams, opposite in pairs, prolonged outside into strong 

 conical spines, longer than the radius. 



Dimensions. Diameter of the outer shell O'OS, inner 0'02 ; outer pores 0'005 to O'Ol, inner 0'005 ; 

 length of the spines O06, basal breadth 0'012. 



Habitat. Central Pacific, Stations 265 to 272, depth 2425 to 2925 fathoms. 



31. Haliomma per magnum, n. sp. 



Cortical shell thick walled, six times as broad as the medullary shell, with irregular, roundish, 

 double-edged pores, three to six times as broad as the bars. Inner shell with regular, circular pores, 

 twice as broad as the bars. One hundred and twenty to one hundred and fifty radial spines, conical, 

 only one-fourth as long as the radius. 



Dimensions. Diameter of the outer shell - 42, inner 0'07 ; outer pores 0'012 to 0'025, bars 

 0-004; inner pores O'OOS, bars 0-004; length of the spines 0'05, basal breadth 0'03. 



Habitat. Central Pacific, Station 268, surface. 



32. Haliomma patayonicum, n. sp. 



Cortical shell thick walled, four times as broad as the medullary shell, with irregular, roundish 

 pores, twice to three times as broad as the bars. Inner shell also with irregular, roundish pores, of 

 half the size. Forty to fifty radial spines, cylindro-conical, about as long as the shell diameter. 



Dimensions. Diameter of the outer shell 0'24, inner 0'06 ; outer pores 0'012 to 0'02, bars 0'006 ; 

 inner pores 0'005 to O'Ol, bars 0'004 ; length of the spines 0'3, breadth 0'02. 



Habitat. South-east Pacific, west coast of Patagonia, Station 302, surface. 



33. Haliomma clavatum, n. sp. 



Cortical shell thick walled, three times as broad as the medullary shell, with irregular, roundish 

 pores little larger than the bars; eight to twelve on the radius. Inner shell with similar but 

 smaller pores. About twenty radial spines, club-shaped, as long as the radius, three-sided, with 

 prominent edges, twice as broad at the distal end as at the base. (Similar to Acanthosphcera 

 clavata, PL 26, fig. 8, but differs from it in the possession of a medullary shell.) 



Dimensions. Diameter of the outer shell 0'2, inner 0'06 ; outer pores and bars O'OOS to 0'02, 

 inner 0'006 to O'Ol ; length of the spines 01, distal breadth 0'03. 



Habitat. Central Pacific, Station 265, depth 2900 fathoms.
