25. Hexalonche heracliti, n. sp. (Pl. [22], fig. 7).
Cortical shell thick walled, covered with bunches of small spines, each bunch at the nodule point between every three pores composed of four to eight conical spinules. Pores irregular roundish, twice to four times as broad as the bars; four to six on the radius. Inner shell equal to one-third of the outer, connected with it by six thin radial beams, which are prolonged outside into six strong triangular spines about as long as the radius.
Dimensions.—Diameter of the outer shell 0.15, pores 0.015 to 0.03, bars 0.08; inner shell 0.05; length of the spines 0.06, basal breadth 0.02.
Habitat.—Indian Ocean, Madagascar, Rabbe, surface.
26. Hexalonche xenophanis, n. sp.
Cortical shell thin walled, covered with numerous short conical spines, four times as broad as the medullary shell. Pores irregular circular, twice to eight times as broad as the bars; five to seven on the radius. Six spines conical or more cylindrical, as long as the diameter of the shell or longer.
Dimensions.—Diameter of the outer shell 0.16 to 0.24, pores 0.01 to 0.04, bars 0.005; inner shell 0.04 to 0.06; length of the spines 0.2 to 0.3, breadth 0.02.
Habitat.—Central Pacific, Stations 266 to 272, surface.
