19. Lychnocanium crassipes, Ehrenberg.
Shell campanulate, rough, with deep collar stricture. Length of the two joints = 1 : 3, breadth = 1 : 4. Cephalis subspherical, with a thin conical horn of the same length. Thorax semi-ovate, three times as broad as the narrow constricted mouth, with fifteen to twenty divergent, denticulate ribs, alternating with the same number of rows of small, regular, circular pores. Three feet very stout, as long as the thorax, cylindrical, nearly straight and parallel, vertical, at the distal end clavate, spinulate or a little forked.
Dimensions.—Cephalis 0.02 long, 0.02 broad; thorax 0.06 long, 0.08 broad.
Habitat.—Fossil in Barbados.
20. Lychnocanium clavigerum, n. sp. (Pl. 61, fig. 4).
Shell campanulate, sulcate, with sharp collar stricture. Length of the two joints = 1 : 4, breadth = 1 : 5. Cephalis subglobular, with a spindle-shaped papillate horn twice the length. Thorax nearly spherical, truncate at both poles, three times as broad as the narrow, constricted, somewhat tubular mouth, with fifteen to twenty elevated meridional ribs, alternating with the same number of rows of circular pores. Three feet slender, cylindrical, twice as long as the thorax, in the basal half divergent, in the distal half convergent, club-shaped, with a thickened papillate end.
Dimensions.—Cephalis 0.02 long, 0.025 broad; thorax 0.08 long, 0.01 broad.
Habitat.—Indian Ocean, Madagascar, surface (Rabbe).
21. Lychnocanium pudicum, n. sp. (Pl. 61, fig. 2).
Shell campanulate, with deep collar stricture. Length of the two joints = 1 : 3, breadth = 1 : 3. Cephalis hemispherical, hyaline (without pores), with a short and thick club-shaped, spinulate horn of the same length. Thorax subglobular, truncate at both poles, twice as broad as the constricted mouth, with small, irregular, roundish pores. Three feet somewhat shorter than the thorax, curved like a crescent, with convexity outwards; their distal ends club-shaped, spinulate, convergent towards the central axis.
Dimensions.—Cephalis 0.02 long, 0.025 broad; thorax 0.06 long, 0.07 broad.
Habitat.—Central Pacific, Station 272, depth 2600 fathoms.
Genus 549. Lychnodictyum,[1] Haeckel, 1881, Prodromus, p. 432.
Definition.—Sethopilida (vel Dicyrtida triradiata aperta), with three latticed terminal feet on the peristome, without thoracic ribs. Cephalis originally with a horn (sometimes lost).
