which are lodged quite inside the pallial cavity, on the dorsal side 

 of the body. Of the two species composing the 

 genus Ibla, one, /. quadrivalvis, has hermaphrodite 

 individuals (Fig. 71) with complemental males, 

 while the other, /. cumingii, has the sexes separate. 

 The males of the Acrothoracica (Fig. 72) are 

 still further modified. The appendages and ali- 

 mentary canal are quite wanting and the mantle 

 forms merely a sheath for the greatly developed 

 penis, which, in Alcippe, can extend to three or 

 four times the length of the body. These an- 

 enterous males must of necessity be short-lived, 

 and in addition to the two to fourteen males which 

 are attached to the mantle margin of a single 

 female, there will often be found the remains of 

 Fm. 71. the adhering antennules of several others which 



Ma quadrivalvis. have attached themselves and died since the last

Monographic.)- moult oi the female. 



There can be but little doubt that herma- 

 phroditism is the primitive condition among the Cirripedia, though
