 Beach. For the identification of the first two of these, we must 

 thank Dr. H. A. Pilsbry of the Academy of Natural Sciences, 

 Philadelphia.

 rocks, mussels, etc. There are six valves or plates; the rostrum,

 versely lined. This is the largest of the common acorn barnacles; 

 the average height is about an inch.
