1. Cantharospyris cardbus, n. sp. 



Shell nut-shaped, with deep sagittal stricture and irregular roundish pores. Basal plate with 

 six larger pores. Six feet of different sizes, cylindrical, curved ; three primary feet (one caudal and 

 two pectoral) about as long as the shell and twiee as long as the three secondary feet.

 fig. 4. 



Shell nut-shaped, tuberculate, with slight sagittal stricture and unequal circular pores. Basal 

 plate with six larger pores. The two pectoral feet very large and stout, four to six times as long 

 as the shell, widely divergent, curved. The four other feet much smaller and thinner, about as 

 long as the shell.

 smaller 0'05 to 0'07.

Shell nut-shaped, smooth, with slight sagittal stricture and irregular roundish pores ; two 

 larger pores on each side of the ring. Basal plate with six pores (?). Six feet of equal size 

 and similar form, conical, divergent, slightly curved, shorter than half the ring.

4. Cantharospyris platybursa, n. sp. (PI. 53, fig. 7). 



Platybursa compressa, Haeckel, 1881, Prodromus, p. 429; Atlas, pi. 53, fig. 7. 



Shell smooth, nearly discoidal circular, markedly compressed in the sagittal direction, with slight 

 basal stricture. Pores very numerous, irregular polygonal, with thin bars. Basal plate with four 

 very large pores. Six feet short, conical, nearly horizontally expanded. Two sagittal feet (caudal
