“ In the centre of one face is the mouth, with six teeth. Fig. 1a. The mouth alone, with its six spinulate teeth, × 400 Fig. 2. Circorrhegma dodecahedra, n. sp., × 80 1699 The entire shell, with twenty radial tubes and twelve pentagonal faces. In the centre of one face is the mouth, with five teeth. Fig. 2a. The mouth alone, with its five spinulate teeth, seen in profile, × 200 Fig. 3. Circospathis novena, n. sp., × 100 1696 The entire shell, with nine radial tubes and fourteen triangular faces. In one face (to the left above) is the mouth with nine teeth. ”

“ Fig. 2. Cannosphæra antarctica, n. sp., × 200 1640 The inner shell, from the mouth of which is prominent the phæodium, and a single hexagonal mesh of the outer shell, connected with the former by thin radial threads. Fig. 3. Cannosphæra antarctica, n. sp., × 200 1640 A single radial spine, with four terminal branches. Fig. 4. Cannosphæra pacifica, n. sp., × 200 1641 The inner shell, exhibiting on its base the widely open mouth, and in its upper half the transparent spherical central capsule with its nucleus. ”

“ The long styles are enveloped by the yellowish calymma. Fig. 4. Cœlothauma duodenum, n. sp., × 80 1750 One valve of the shell (h) , seen from the apical side; t, rhinocanna; m, its mouth; b1, b2, the two lateral frenula; g1, g2, the two paired styles; g3, the odd style. Fig. 5. Cœlothauma duodenum, n. sp., × 80 1750 One valve of the shell, seen in profile. Characters as in fig. 4. Fig. 6. Cœlothamnus bivalvis, n. sp., × 30 1751 The entire shell, enveloped by the yellowish calymma, seen from the left side; between the two valves is the central capsule, with nucleus and astropyle. Fig. 7. ”

“ The kidney-shaped calymma contains on the margin numerous symbiontes (Xanthellæ or Vorticellinæ? Compare page 1102) . Fig. 8. Nephrospyris paradictyum, n. sp., × 500 1102 Three single unicellular symbiontes (Zooxanthellæ?) . Fig. 9. Nephrospyris renilla, n. sp. (vel Nephrodictyum renilla) , × 250 1101 The bilobed central capsule is enclosed by the discoidal shell and in the middle constricted by the sagittal ring; it contains a transverse nucleus. The kidney-shaped calymma contains in the peripheral part numerous symbiontes (Xanthellæ or Vorticellinæ? Compare page 1101) . Fig. 10. ”
