Dimensions.—Diameter of the outer shell 0.15, inner 0.05; cortical pores and bars 0.004; length of the spines 0.08.

Habitat.—Central Pacific, Station 268, depth 2900 fathoms.

Subgenus 3. Staurolonchissa, Haeckel.

Definition.—Pores of the cortical shell irregular, of different size or form; surface smooth.

9. Staurolonche holbachii, n. sp.

Cortical shell thin walled, with smooth surface, three times as broad as the medullary shell. Pores irregular, polygonal, twice to four times as broad as the bars. Four main spines three-sided prismatic, longer than the shell diameter.

Dimensions.—Diameter of the outer shell 0.12, inner 0.04; cortical pores 0.006 to 0.012, bars 0.003; length of the spines 0.15.

Habitat.—South Pacific, Station 295, depth 1500 fathoms.

10. Staurolonche gassendii, n. sp.

Cortical shell thick walled, with smooth surface, four times as broad as the medullary shell. Pores irregular, roundish, three to five times as broad as the bars. Four main spines conical, as long as the radius.
