7. Zoological Researches. By John V. Thompson, Esq. F.L.S., 

 &c. Surgeon to the Forces. No. III. 



This number of Mr Thompson's interesting work, of which we 

 on former occasions expressed our satisfaction, has just reached us. 

 It contains one memoir on the Cirripedes or Barnacles, with two 

 plates; and an addendum on Nebalia, with one plate. The me- 

 moir on the Barnacles contains a series of curious ob.servations, 

 which go to show that these creatures belong not to the testacea 

 but to the Crustacea. A fourth number, from the same active na- 

 turalist, was announced to be published in Apiil last, but, as far 

 as we know, has not yet made its appearance.
