English: Illustration from Report on the Radiolaria collected by Challenger during the years 1873-1876. Part III. Original description follows: Plate 102. Aulacanthida. Diam. Fig. 1. Auloceros elegans, n. sp., × 80 A complete specimen, observed living at Ceylon. In the centre is visible the red central capsule with its three openings, containing a large nucleus of half the size, with numerous nucleoli. The alveolate calymma encloses a green excentric phæodium, is surrounded by a veil of interwoven tangential needles, and forms conical elevations, which enclose the piercing radial tu

Auloceros elegans, n. sp., × 80 A complete specimen, observed living at Ceylon. In the centre is visible the red central capsule with its three openings, containing a large nucleus of half the size, with numerous nucleoli. The alveolate calymma encloses a green excentric phæodium, is surrounded by a veil of interwoven tangential needles, and forms conical elevations, which enclose the piercing radial tubes. Between these radiate numerous pseudopodia (compare for the single parts, Pl. 103, fig. 1 and Pl. 104, figs. 1-3, and their explanation). Figs. 2-6. Auloceros furcosus, n. sp., × 100 Distal ends of different radial tubes, exhibiting the great variability of this species. Fig. 7. Auloceros trigeminus, n. sp., × 300 Distal end of a single tube. Fig. 8. Auloceros capreolus, n. sp., × 200 Distal End of a Single Tube. Figs. 9, 10. Auloceros cervinus, n. sp., × 300 Distal ends of two single tubes. Fig. 12. Auloceros spathillaster, n. sp., × 300 Distal end of a single tube. Figs. 11, 13. Auloceros arborescens, n. sp., × 300 Distal ends of two single tubes. . 1887 66 Radiolaria (Challenger) Plate 102
