NOTES on the CIKRIPEDIA of the L.M.B.C. 



DISTRICT. 



By F. p. Marrat, Free Public Museum. 



What is known of the Cirripedes of this district is almost 

 all contained in Byerley's Fauna. No satisfactory collec- 

 tion of the species enumerated is to be found either in 

 our Public Museum or in any private collection. Under 

 these circumstances, it is evident that if we wish to pro- 

 cure satisfactory evidence regarding our local species, the 

 specimens must be re-examined and a collection formed. 

 The specimens obtained by the dredging investigations of 

 the Liverpool Marine Biology Committee have added 

 Chthamalus stellatus and Verruca stromia to the list of 

 species previously recorded.^ I take this opportunity of 

 correcting the nomenclature of Mr. Byerley's list. 



THORACICA. 



Family. — B al anid^ . 



Balanus porcatiis, Costa. 



Balanus scoticus, Wood. = Balanus ehurneus, Brown. 

 This is the Balanus scoticus of Byerley's list. I remem- 

 ber specimens of this species having been shown to me 

 attached to Modiola modiolus which had been brought in by 

 the Liverpool fishing boats. 



Balanus hameri, Ascan. 

 Isle of Man and Anglesea, twelve fathoms (Darwin). 



* Foreign species brought into the Mersey attached to ships have been 

 omitted.
