Abstract
Testate Trichosphaerium is redescribed and forms are shown to exist which have three-sided or four-sided calcium carbonate spicules embedded in an extra-cellular mucin sheath, which overlies a fibrillar layer, the whole constituting a glycocalyx. The genus is strongly euryhaline and eurythermal and it has been found to reproduce abundantly in waters from the South Wales coast; its affinities are discussed and the family Trichosphaeriidae of the order Trichosida, of the class Lobosia, is proposed to accommodate it.
