A, D, F, the whole, the apex and the base of a larger specimen; B, E, H, C, G, the whole, two views of the base and two of the apex of a smaller specimen. Magnification: A X9; B x 18; C-H x 29. At first sight it might be supposed that the reticulation was due to shrinkage. I am quite satisfied that it is a specific character.

At first sight it might be supposed that the reticulation was due to shrinkage. I am quite satisfied that it is a specific character. Most of the facets are deeply concave, as can be seen from the sketches of the apical parts of two specimens (Text-figs. 61 C, D). The material, as is usually the case with small delicate specimens from the depths, is only moderately well preserved, and the reticulated ridges could only be examined after staining. This is one of the three new species of Lensia to come to light since I reviewed the species in 1941. The figured holotype bears the Brit. Mus. (Nat. Hist.) Register No. 1952. n. 19. 2. Eudoxia macra This new eudoxid of unknown parentage is easily recognized by its peculiar bract and long gono- phore which has no prominent teeth but a deeply pigmented tip to its manubrium. Measurements of holotype. Length overall 3-2 mm.; length of bract 1-25 mm.; length of gonophore 2-5 mm.
