Type. — Present location unknown; from Weyraouth, Devon. 



Distribution. — Southern England, Wales, and Ireland to the Med- 

 iterranean; Lagulhas Bank, Cape of Good Hope; off Patros Island, 

 Brazil (Rathbun) ; La Guayra and Caracas (Weltner) ; Chagos Archi- 

 pelago, and Seychelles (Gruvel). 



The barnacle is conic or conic- tubular; pompeian red, deep helle- 

 bore red, or varying m tint to nearly white on the rostral side; 

 radii red or white; walls smooth, the orifice toothed. 



Scutum with unequal radial grooves, part of them deeply engraved, 

 cutting the strongly developed growth-ridges into small beads. 

 Articular ridge small; adductor ridge small and short, merely forming 

 a raised border of the adductor pit. There is a rather deep and 

 narrow pit for the lateral depressor muscle. 



The tergum has the apex tinted, produced into an acute beak project- 

 ing above the scuta; exterior nearly flat, band running to the spur 

 being but very slightly sunken. Spur is about one- third the width 

 of the valve, obliquely truncate at the end, the basal margin on the 

 carina! side sloping into it in a nearly straight or slightly concave 

 hne (fig. 30a, h, Exmouth.) Crests for the depressor muscles are 

 rather weakly developed. 



' The original spelling spongicula was corrected by Captain Brown in the later edition of his work, 

 may assume that it was a typographical error.
