REPORT ON THE CIRRIPEDIA. 8 



in search of descriptions of new fossil or recent species, my labours in this direction have 

 been limited to examining carefully the contents of the different records of zoological 

 literature. 1 Under the first head I shall treat only of the true nonparasitical Cirripedia. 



Since the publication of Darwin's remarkable monograph, the Cirripedia of the English 

 coast, and of the surrounding seas, have not much occupied zoologists. Only occasionally 

 faunistic observations have been made and published, e.g., by the Rev. A. M. Norman ' 

 (1868), in his report on the Shetland Crustacea. Three species of Balanus are mentioned 

 in it, moreover, Verruca strdmia, ScalpeUum vvlgare, and Alcippe lampas. The obser- 

 vations made by Lawson 8 (1858) and Adams 4 (1861) are rather biological than 

 faunistic. 



Leslie and Herdman 5 (1881) observed in the Firth of Forth one species of Lepas, two 

 of Conchoderma, and four of. Balanus. No new species were collected. 



In more northern latitudes the Cirripedia are not represented by very many species. 

 M. Sars 6 (1857) observed a new species of ScalpeUum (ScalpeUum strocmii) near Bergen, 

 on the long spines of Cidaris papillata, living at a depth of 80 to 150 fathoms. Five 

 other Cirripedia were collected by him in the North-Arctic region (four species of 

 Balanus and one of Verruca). According to Heller" (1875), the only Cirriped taken 

 during the Austro-Hungarian North-Polar Expedition is ScalpeUum stroemii, Sars. Prof. 

 G. 0. Sars, 8 however, pointed out that the species of Heller is quite distinct from that of 

 M. Sars : he therefore suggests a new name for it, and calls it ScalpeUum angustum. 

 During the great Norwegian North-Atlantic Expedition 9 three new species of ScalpeUum 

 {ScalpeUum striolatum, ScalpeUum cornutum, and ScalpeUum hamatum ; the first at a 

 depth of 412 and 1081 fathoms ; the second of 148, 350, and 416 fathoms; the third of 

 416, 457, and 620 fathoms) were added to those previously known, whereas at the same 

 time the occurrence of ScalpeUum vuhjare at a latitude of 64° N. was ascertained. 



In the Arctic region Balanus porcatus, Da Costa, occurs on the east coast of Greenland 

 (Buchholtz), 10 near Cape Napoleon, Smith Sound, lat. 79° N. (Miers), 11 Barents-Sea and
