9. Cenellipsis infundibulum, n. sp. (Pl. [39], fig. 2).

Proportion of the longer axis to the shorter = 3 : 2. Network of the thick wall irregular, with roundish pores of different size and form. Pores funnel-like, with prominent, irregular, spiny crests between them, their outer aperture three to four times as broad as the inner; twelve to fifteen pores on the half equator. Surface prickly.

Dimensions.—Longer axis of the ellipsoid 0.14, shorter axis 0.11; outer aperture of the pores 0.01 to 0.012, inner aperture 0.003 to 0.004.

Habitat.—South Atlantic, Station 332, depth 2200 fathoms.

10. Cenellipsis oblonga, n. sp.

Proportion of the longer axis to the shorter = 2 : 1. Network of the thick wall irregular, with roundish pores of different size and form. Pores with prominent conical edges, about as broad as the bars; twenty to twenty-five on the half equator. Sometimes each pore is prolonged into a short conical tubulus.

Dimensions.—Longer axis of the ellipsoid 0.22, shorter axis 0.12; pores and bars 0.008 to 0.012.

Habitat.—Pacific, central area, Station 265, depth 2900 fathoms.

Genus 123. Axellipsis,[[162]] n. gen.

Definition.—Ellipsida with simple ellipsoidal shell, without radial spines or polar tubes, but with an inner transverse axial rod, which corresponds to the shorter axis of the ellipsoid.
