XII.—WNotice of the Occurrence, on the British Coast, of a Bur- 
rowing Barnacle belonging to a new Order of the Class 
Cirripedia. By AtBany Hancock, Esq. 
{Read at the Second Field Meeting, June 8, 1849.] 
I HAVE recently procured a very curious little animal belonging 
to the class Cirripedia, interesting not only on account of its 
modification of form, but also from its habit of burying itself in 
the substance of dead shells. The first individuals obtained 
were concealed in a broken specimen of Fusus antiquus procured 
by the Rev. G. C. Abbes, from the fishing boats at Whitburn, in 
the county of Durham, and fortunately preserved on account of 
VOL. I. vv
