Figs, 2A-2D. Psammina globigerina, n. sp. (p. 36). 



Fig. 2A. Facial view of the discoidal sponge (superior face). The whole surface is protected by a 



carapace composed of Globigerina shells, . . . . x 20 



Fig. 2B. Marginal view of the same, exhibiting the corona of exhalent openings (o), on the peripheral 



edge of the discoidal sponge, . . . . . . . x 20' 



Fig. 2C. Horizontal section through the discoidal sponge, exhibiting the radiating network of the 

 symbiotic Hydroid, expanded in the medullar substance, between the two parallel 

 cortical plates, . . . . . . . . x 20 



Fig. 2D. A portion of the medullar parenchyma, after the removal of the calcareous shells by 

 hydrochloric acid. Two different branched canal-systems are visible, the yellowish 

 canals of the sponge, not anastomosing (c), and the dark greenish brown reticular 

 canals of the symbiotic Hydroid (h). The maltha includes some Badiolarian tests (?■), x 200
