86 FOSSIL CIRRIPEDIA. 



each scale lies exactly between two scales in the whorls, both above and below : this is, in 

 fact, the case with the large lateral scales in Loricula, but the ends of the scales in the 

 same whorl, instead of, as is usual, quite or nearly touching each other, are here far 

 removed from each other, so that each whorl is broken by wide open spaces. In the 

 marked difference in size between the lateral scales and those in the two end rows ; — in 

 the latter scales not intersecting each other, but presenting a straight, medial, rostral and 

 carinal suture ; — and lastly, in each alternate whorl having a different number of scales, 

 namely, four in one and six in the other, Loricula differs from every other known 

 Cirripede.
