Barnicle with ears." At p. 849 he says : " I have called this 

 animal the Naked Fleshy Barnacle with Ears ; but it appears 

 to claim the name of Triton rather than Lepas, according to 

 Linnaeus, as having no shelly habitation." It will be per- 

 ceived that the designation of the species is not binomial. 

 Ellis's paper was read Dec. 21, 1758, but the Phil. Trans, for 

 1758 was not published till 1759.

GEN. SCALPELLUM, Leach. 



1817. Xcalpellum, Leach, Journ. de Physique, vol. Ixxxv., p. 68. 



Dr. Annandale, in Memoirs of the Indian Museum, vol. ii., 

 No. 2, p. 63, 1909, proposes to include this genus, together 

 with Pollicipes and Litliotrya in a family Pollicipedidae. But 

 Pilsbry has pointed out that Mitella, Oken, 1815, has priority 

 over Pollicipcs, Leach, 1817. Annandale's family, therefore, 

 if adopted, should be named Mitellidae. 



SCALPELLUM ORNATUM (J. E. Gray). 



1848. Thaliella onmta, Gray, Proc. Zool. Soc. London, pt. xvi.,

Dr. J. E. Gray says : " This genus was shown to me by 

 Mr. J. S. Bowerbank, who received it from Algoa Bay attached 

 to some species of Plumaria." He describes the species as 

 " Thaliella ornata. Pale horn-coloured, varied with red spots, 

 or with a single red band on each side ; valves horny, sub- 

 pellucid, radiately striated. On Plumaria, Algoa Bay, Cape 

 of Good Hope. Presented to the British Museum by J. S. 

 Bowerbank, Esq."
