Extract

The present paper is a continuation of my monographs already published by the Royal Microscopical Society, London, in their Journals for June and December 1888. It has been carried out under similar conditions in the Botanical Department of the British Museum (Natural History), South Kensington, but I am especially indebted to Edmund Grove, Esq., F.R.M.S., for much valuable cooperation, and to Julien Deby, Esq., for the readiness with which he has placed at my command the resources alike of his library and cabinet. Herr E. Weissflog and Dr James Rae, R.N., have also furnished me with many excellent preparations.

The central papillæ are prominent, as in C. robustus.

note * page 649 This species is established on two specimens occurring in a photograph now in the possession of Mr Julien Deby, the history of which is given in a letter addressed to him by Herr E. Weissflog dated 27th July 1878. Herr Weissflog says:—“I have received a letter from Mr F. Habirshaw of New York, in which he says—‘The late John E. Gavit … engraved the fine plate in Bailey's “New Species,” &c. (Smith's Contrib.). He also some years ago made a plate which suddenly disappeared—neither plate nor impressions could be found. In overhauling the effects of Judge Johnson (of Asterodiscus in Silliman's Jour.) two impressions were found, and it is believed that they are the only two extant. A few days since we photographed the one sent us, and we hope that you will be pleased with the result. If there are more wanted, I would like MM. Deby and Delogne to have copies.’ Herewith you will find two proofs, and you will oblige much by remitting one to M. Delogne.” Nothing further is known of the specimens. They seem, however, to come from the Barbados deposit.
