REPORT ON THE CIRRirEDTA. 7 



graph of Cyamus} The first (1872) mentions Coronula diadema, Lam., or perhaps a 

 similar but distinct species from Megaptera versabilis of north-west America ; 

 Cryptolepcbs rkachianectis, a new genus and species of sessile Cirripedia found on 

 Rkachianectes glaums, Cope; in the third place Otion stimpsoni, Dall, sessile on 

 Coronula, infesting Megaptera versabilis, but never on the surface of the whale itself. 

 Steenstrup (1873) enumerates Coronula balaenaris, Gmelin, on right whales of the 

 northern and southern hemispheres; Coronula diadema, Linn., on Megaptera hoops, 

 Atlantic and also southern hemisphere ; Coronula regime, Darw., on unknown whales of 

 the South Sea ; Tubicinella trachealis, Sav., on northern and southern right whales ; 

 Xenobalamis glohicipitis, Steenstrup, on Glohiocephahis melas from the Faroe ; finally, 

 Xenobalanus strictus, Steenstrup, on several species of Delphinus from warmer parts of 

 the Atlantic. Sars 2 (1880) observed Conchodenna (vittatum) virgatum on Penella 

 balaenopterce, which was taken from Balaenoptera musculus, and Conchodenna auritum 

 and Coromda diadema on Megaptera hoops. 



During the cruise of the Austrian man-of-war " Novara," a small collection of 

 Cirripedia was made. This was determined by Heller 3 (18G5), and contained the 

 following species : — Lepas anatifera, from the Cape of Good Hope ; Lepas anserifera, 

 from the Nicobars and Shanghai ; Lepas fascicularis, from Eio Janeiro ; Conchoderrna 

 auritum, from Auckland ; Pollicipes mitella, from Hong Kong; Balanus tintinnabulum, 

 from Madras and Chili ; Tetraclita porosa, from Sydney ; and Chthamalus cirratus, from 

 the Nicobars. 



A new species of Dicliclaspis (Dichelaspis aymonini) was observed (1874) on the 

 gills of Macrochira kaempferi, by Lessona and Tapparone-Canefri. 4 A new genus 

 {Ornitholepas) was proposed (1874) by Targioni-Tozzetti 5 for a species of Cirripedia 

 inhabiting the tad feathers of Priofinus cinereus, a bird of the Southern Atlantic and the 

 Indian Ocean. Gerstiicker G supposes that the Ornitholepas australis, Targioni-Tozzetti, 

 is only a larva of a Cirriped in its Cijpris-stage. 



Miers 7 (1881) observed one species of Balanus in a collection of Crustaceans from 

 the Straits of Magellan, and two species of the same genus collected at Goru Island. 

 The same author 8 (1880) took a great number of specimens of Alepas tuhidosa from 

 Palinurus hilgeli, Heller, from Sydney Harbour.
