general character already given. The dem, which 
is here differed, was full of a foft fpongy yellow 
fubdance, which appeared, when magnified, to con- 
fid of regular oval figures, connected together by 
many fmall fibres, and no doubt are the fpawn of 
the animal. 
This extraordinary animal (of which there were 
feven together) was found flicking to the Whale 
Barnacle (See jig. i. £? 7.), by Mr. Smith of Staven- 
ger in Norway, who cut both kinds together off a 
whale’s lip, that was thrown upon that coad lad 
year, 1757, and immediately immerfed them in fpi- 
rits of wine ; by which means we have been able- 
more exactly to defcribe them. 
I have called this animal the Naked Flefhy Bar- 
nacle with Ears ; but it appears to claim the name 
of Triton rather than Lepas, according to Linnasus, 
as having no fhelly habitation. 
Fig. 2. is the next animal of this clafs : this is not 
yet defcribed. I found feveral of them dicking to 
the Warted Norway Sea Fan, which Dr. Pantoppi- 
dan, the Bifhop of North Bergen, fent you : from 
its appearance, I have called it the Norway Sea Fan 
Penknife. The dem of this is covered with little 
tedaceous fcales. The upper part of the animal is 
inclofed in thirteen didintt fhells, fix on each fide, 
befides the hinge-diell at the back, which is com- 
mon to both fides : thefe are conne&ed together by 
a membrane that lines the whole infide. One of 
thefe is magnified a little at fig* 2. a, in order to ex- 
prefs the figure and fituation of each (hell the better.
