Polystichia, Pantanelli, g. n., (8) p. 52. Belongs to Fam. Cyrtidce,

into three or four unequal segments, the first large, quadrangular, or sub- 
globose, the apex produced into a strong spine ; the base made up of 
two or three small segments, the surface ornamented with equal cells.

The following new genera of Radiolaria are described by Stohr, (10), 
from the Silician Tripoli bed of Girgenti : — 
Ommatodiscus, p. 115. Made type of new family, Ommatodiscidoi, 
with habit of Ommatidce^ but resembling Cyrtidoi in the possession of a 
basal opening. 
Spongospira^ p. 120. Differs from Spongocyclia in the spiral arrange- 
ment of the inner series of chambers. 
DistephanuSy p. 121. Near Dictyocha ; entirely closed, being formed of 
two apposed hat-shaped tests. 
Lithocarpium, p. 97. Belongs to Monocyrtidojy next to Carpocaniuni ; 
test ellipsoidal, with tubular process to the opening, which is surrounded 
by a crown of small teeth.
