5. Artocapsa armata, n. sp.
Shell slender, inversely ovate, spiny, with six deep strictures. Length of the seven joints = 2 : 4 : 6 : 5 : 4 : 3 : 2. The third joint is the broadest, inflated, and much larger than the four following, which gradually decrease in size. The small, hemispherical cephalis bears a stout pyramidal horn of twice the length. The last hemispherical joint is armed with a bunch of stout spines, one of which is much the larger, and as long as the third joint. Pores irregular, roundish.
Dimensions.—Length of the shell (with seven joints) 0.26, breadth 0.12. Length of the single joints, a 0.02, b 0.04, c 0.06, d 0.05, e 0.04, f 0.03, g 0.02.
Habitat.—Western Tropical Pacific, Station 225, depth 4575 fathoms.
6. Artocapsa octocamera, n. sp.
Shell subcylindrical, smooth, with seven internal annular septa. Five joints (the third to the seventh) are nearly equal in size, while the second and eighth are cupola-shaped, somewhat longer. The cephalis is smaller, with a conical horn of the same length. The last joint bears a bunch of divergent, conical spines, of different lengths. Pores small, regular, circular.
Dimensions.—Length of the shell (with eight joints) 0.16, breadth 0.08. Length of the cephalis 0.016, second and eighth joints 0.033, each of the five other joints 0.022.
Habitat.—South Pacific, Station 285, depth 2375 fathoms.
