Habitat.—Central Pacific, Station 274.

4. Coscinaspis coscinopora, n. sp.

Shell thin walled, with smooth surface, without crests and dimples, perforated by very numerous pores of circular form, but of different sizes. Forty aspinal pores and one hundred to two hundred sutural pores much larger than the coronal pores, which are very small and very numerous (fifty to sixty on each plate). Sutures sinuate. Radial spines compressed, outer and inner half nearly of equal length.

Dimensions.—Diameter of the shell 0.3, aspinal and sutural pores 0.01 to 0.015, coronal pores 0.001 to 0.002.

Habitat.—Tropical Atlantic, Station 338, surface.

5. Coscinaspsis polypora, n. sp. (Pl. [136], fig. 8).

Shell very thin walled, with smooth surface, without crests and dimples, the two aspinal pores of each plate narrow, lanceolate, ten to twelve times as long as broad and half as long as the radius of each plate. Coronal pores irregular, polygonal, very numerous (two hundred to three hundred on each plate), commonly arranged more or less regularly in ten to twelve series parallel to the longitudinal diameter of the aspinal spines (ten to twenty pores in each series). Sutural pores irregular, polygonal, very numerous. Radial spines very thin and long, cylindrical.

Dimensions.—Diameter of the shell 0.24; length of the aspinal pores 0.04, breadth 0.004; coronal and sutural pores 0.002 to 0.01.

Habitat.—Tropical Atlantic, Station 349, surface.
