11. Haliomma duodecinum, n. sp.

Cortical shell thick walled, three times as broad as the medullary shell. Both shells with regular, circular pores, twice as broad as the bars; eight to ten on the radius of the outer, five to six on the radius of the inner shell. Twelve conical, regularly disposed radial spines, as long as the radius, and as broad at the base as one mesh.

Dimensions.—Diameter of the outer shell 0.12, of the inner 0.04; pores of the former 0.005, of the latter 0.002; length of the spines 0.05, basal breadth 0.005.

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

12. Haliomma megaporum, Ehrenberg.

Haliomma megaporum, Ehrenberg, 1872, Monatsber. d. k. preuss. Akad. d. Wiss. Berlin, p. 313.

Cortical shell thin walled, three times as broad as the medullary shell; the pores regular, circular, three to four on the radius, eight times as broad as the bars, quite as broad as the medullary shell, the pores of which are much smaller, twice as broad as the bars. Eight radial spines regularly disposed, conical, as long as the radius. (As the diagnosis of Ehrenberg is very incomplete, and no figure is given with it, it remains doubtful whether his Mediterranean species be identical with my Atlantic variety.)

Dimensions.—Diameter of the outer shell 0.12, of the inner 0.04; pores of the former 0.04, of the latter 0.008; length of the spines 0.06.

Habitat.—Mediterranean (Grecian shore); North Atlantic, Station 354, surface.

13. Haliomma oculatum, Ehrenberg.
