Editors' Notes
[Although not explicitly stated, it is clear from the figure explanation that Haeckel meant the letter "a" to designate apical horn, and the letter "r" to designate sagittal ring. In the figure explanation "Pl.95, figs.2-6" refers to Tripospyris triplecta, T. semantrum, T. hexomma, Brachiospyris diacantha, and Tetraspyris stephanium in Haeckel 1887a.]
