  covered

  golden 
  hair?. 
  In

  the 
  legs

   described 
  as 
  blackish 
  brown, 
  the

  the 
  first 
  two 
  tarsal 
  segments 
  of 
  

   the 
  same 
  leg 
  as 
  yellow 
  ; 
  but 
  in 
  S. 
  nigrogilvum 
  the 
  legs 
  are 
  

   banded 
  black 
  and 
  white. 
  The 
  halteres 
  are 
  reddish 
  yellow 
  in 
  

   S. 
  nobile, 
  but 
  in 
  the 
  new 
  species 
  they 
  are 
  white. 
  The 
  abdo-

  silky 
  black,

  of 
  being,

  largely 
  yellowish 
  white. 
  

  

  The 
  type 
  of 
  the 
  new 
  species 
  has 
  been 
  presented

  the 
  

   British

  Unfortunately, 
  having 
  been 
  dried

   being

  its

  affected.

  Some 
  Barnacles 
  oj 
  the 
  Genus 
  Scalpellum 
  from 
  

   Irish 
  Seas.

  Through 
  the 
  kind 
  offices 
  of 
  Mr. 
  S. 
  W. 
  Kemp 
  I 
  have 
  been 
  

   entrusted 
  with 
  the 
  examination 
  of 
  certain 
  barnacles 
  of 
  the 
  

   genus 
  Scatyellum 
  taken 
  in 
  Irish 
  seas 
  by 
  the 
  Fisheries 
  Branch 
  

   of 
  the 
  Irish 
  Department 
  of 
  Agriculture. 
  These 
  barnacles 
  

   fall 
  into 
  three 
  distinct 
  species, 
  namely 
  Scalpellum 
  vulgare, 
  

   Leach 
  (= 
  Lepas 
  scalpellum, 
  Linne), 
  Scalpellum 
  vslutinum, 
  

   Hoek, 
  and 
  Scalpellum 
  (Smilium) 
  kempi, 
  sp. 
  n. 
  

  

  Scalpellum 
  vulgare 
  is 
  by 
  far 
  the 
  commonest 
  species 
  of 
  its 
  

   genus 
  in 
  the 
  seas 
  of 
  Northern 
  Europe 
  and 
  in 
  the 
  Mediter- 
  

   ranean, 
  but 
  has 
  not 
  been 
  taken 
  on 
  the 
  coasts 
  of 
  America 
  or 
  

   in 
  the 
  S. 
  Atlantic. 
  Its 
  bathy 
  metrical 
  range 
  extends 
  from 
  

   about 
  20 
  to 
  about 
  200 
  fathoms. 
  There 
  are 
  a 
  considerable 
  

   number 
  of 
  specimens 
  in 
  the 
  collection
