II. CiRRniPEDA PEDUNCULATA. 



5. roiitelasmis anatifera, Leach. Lepas anatifera, Lin. Anatifa 

 Isevis, Lamarck. Adhering to a plank of wood cast on sliore in the 

 winter 1819-20. This is the shell which, little more than a century 

 ago, was generally believed to be the embryo of the barnacle duck ; 

 and, in the year above mentioned, I had the tale told me by our 

 fishermen, yet, it must be allowed, in a manner that showed they were 

 very incredulous of a fable, to the truth of which very learned his- 

 torians and theologians, and very observant naturalists, have deponed 

 with the confidence and sincerity of eye-witnesses. 



6. Scalpeilum vulgare, Leach. Lepas scalpellum, Lin. Pollicipes 

 scalpellum, Lamarck. On corallines, especially on Tubularia ramosa, 

 not uncommon.
