Rh 9. Anthocyrtium leptostylum, Haeckel.

Anthocyrtis leptostyla, Ehrenberg, 1875, Abhandl. d. k. Akad. d. Wiss. Berlin, p. 64, Taf. vi. fig. 1.

Shell thorny, with slight collar stricture. Length of the two joints = 1 : 5, breadth = 2 : 4. Cephalis hemispherical, with small, scarce pores and a slender conical horn of the same length. Thorax spiny, with regular, circular, quincuncial pores. Mouth constricted, half as broad, with twelve to eighteen slender, parallel, vertical feet, about as long as the cephalis.

Dimensions.—Cephalis 0.02 long, 0.04 broad; thorax 0.1 long, 0.08 broad.

Habitat.—Central Pacific, Stations 266 to 270, depth 2550 to 2925 fathoms; also fossil in Barbados.

10. Anthocyrtium hispidum, Haeckel.

Anthocyrtis hispida, Ehrenberg, 1875, Abhandl. d. k. Akad. d. Wiss. Berlin, p. 64, Taf. viii. fig. 2.

Anthocyrtis hispida, Bütschli, 1882, Zeitschr. f. wiss. Zool., vol. xxxvi. p. 540, Taf. xxxiii. fig. 30.

Shell thorny, with sharp collar stricture. Length of the two joints = 1 : 4, breadth = 2 : 5. Cephalis hemispherical, hyaline, with few very small pores, or without any; with a stout conical horn of twice the length. Thorax spiny, with regular, circular, hexagonally-framed pores (half as broad as the bars between them). Mouth wide open, scarcely constricted, with twelve to fifteen parallel, vertical, broad, lamellar, rectangular feet, reaching nearly the length of the thorax.

Dimensions.—Cephalis 0.02 to 0.03 long, 0.03 to 0.05 broad; thorax 0.07 to 0.09 long, 0.1 to 0.12 broad.

Habitat.—Central Pacific, Stations 263 to 265, depth 2650 to 3000 fathoms; also fossil in Barbados.

11. Anthocyrtium turris, n. sp.

Shell thorny, very similar to Calocyclas turris, Ehrenberg (1875, loc. cit., Taf. xviii. fig. 7), but without fenestrated abdomen. Collar stricture deep. Length of the two joints = 1 : 3, breadth = 1 : 3. Cephalis subspherical, hyaline, without pores, with a stout conical horn of twice the length. Thorax nearly spherical, spiny, with regular, circular, quincuncial pores. Mouth little constricted, with fifteen to twenty parallel, vertical, broad, lamellar, rectangular feet, about as long as the thorax.

Dimensions.—Cephalis 0.03 long, 0.03 broad; thorax 0.1 long, 0.1 broad.

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