CIRRHOPODA; Cirripedia; Cirripeds ; 



(xt^o? and TTOUS, cirrus and pea, from the curl- 

 like form which the coiled feet or arms present. 

 Fr. Cirripedes. Ger. RankenJ'uesser.} A class 

 of invertebrate animals, composed chiefly of 

 the barnacles and acorn-shells. They are re- 

 lated in some points of structure with the annu- 

 lated or diploneurose animals, particularly with 

 Crustacea ; in other points they resemble Ace- 

 phala (Conchifera). All are marine and fixed. 

 The soft parts are, for the most part, encased 

 in a multivalve shell. The body is somewhat 

 conical in form, tumid, and bent inwards at 

 the oral extremity, tapering towards the oppo- 

 site extremity, where it terminates in a long 

 pointed tube. Placed along the abdominal 

 surface, there are two rows of fleshy lobes, 

 (six on either side,) each having two long 

 horny processes, jointed and ciliated. In some 

 species, these constitute the chief bulk of the 

 whole animal. The head is indistinctly de- 

 fined, and has neither eyes nor tentacles ; 

 mouth with lips, and three pairs of horny 

 jaws ; anus at the base of the tubular process. 

 Respiration is effected by branchiae, which, in 

 some species, are filamentary, in others foli- 

 ated. Mantle membranous, sacculated, pro- 

 vided with a slit-like opening for the passage 

 of the arms, &c. Between each two pairs of 

 arms, the abdominal surface is marked by six 

 slight depressions, which may be regarded as 

 an approach towards complete articulation. 



The animals thus characterized have had dif- 

 ferent places assigned to them in the various 

 systematic arrangements of modern zoologists. 

 Cuvier formed of them the sixth and last class 

 of his Mollusca. Lamarck was at one period 

 inclined to place them amongst the Crustacea, 

 but latterly he constituted for them a distinct 

 class, and placed it between Annelida and 

 Conchifera ; still, however, regarding them as 

 more closely allied to Crustacea than to any 

 other class; " for," as he remarked, "they 

 have the nervous system of Crustacea, they 

 have jaws analogous to those of the animals 

 of that class, and their tentacle-hke arms 

 resemble the antennae of the lobsters."* Bur?
