Dimensions.—Diameter of the shell 0.5 to 0.7, of the pores 0.02 to 0.03.

Habitat.—North Pacific, Stations 252 to 256, surface.

2. Castanella thomsoni, n. sp.

Dimensions.—Diameter of the shell 0.7 to 0.8, of the pores 0.03.

Habitat.—South Pacific, Stations 295 to 298, surface.

3. Castanella campbelli, n. sp.

Pores regular, circular, hexagonally framed, three times as broad as the bars. Radial bristles half as long as the radius of the shell. Mouth with a coronet of eight conical, parallel teeth, of the same length as the bristles, but four to six times as thick.

Dimensions.—Diameter of the shell 0.4 to 0.45, of the pores 0.025.

Habitat.—Tropical Atlantic, Stations 347 to 349, surface.

5. Castanella balfouri, n. sp.

Pores irregular, roundish, two to three times as broad as the bars. Bristles about one-fourth as long as the radius. Mouth with four strong conical teeth, forming a cross, somewhat longer and much thicker than the bristles.
