No. 167, specimens received from Dr. Gilchrist, who writes : 

 "Appendages, body and stalk were of a pale blue colour in 

 the larger specimens, while in the smaller, which are 

 apparently a different kind altogether, these parts are of a 

 dark brown. The gelatinous part round the feather was 

 white, faintly yellow." On the colouring and extreme vari- 

 ability of this species, see Darwin, The Lepadidae, p. 98. 

 Darwin refers to fig. 5 of Ellis and Solander, which is their 

 Lepas dorsalis. Sherborn's Index Animalium does not 

 mention either that species or Lepas fascicularis.
