NATURAL HISTORY. 
[N. ZOOL. GAL, 
The Barnacles, or Goose-shells, (Lepas,) as they have been called, 
from the extraordinary belief that they were the origin of the Barnacle 
Geese, have a compressed body, which is placed on a long pedicle 
arising from behind the head of the animal. This pedicle is sometimes 
naked, and at others covered with hairy or hard shelly scale-like ap¬ 
pendages ; the case of the body is generally strengthened with one or 
more plates, which are similar in form, and are in the same manner sunk 
in the skin of the body, as the plates before referred to, which surround 
the opening. In those kinds, as the Pollicipes , which have many plates, 
their tip is sometimes produced beyond the attached part. Larger spe¬ 
cies are used to flavour soup by the Chilians and the Chinese, and 
eaten as a delicacy at Madeira, and roasted in their shell by the Chi¬ 
lians. 
The general collection of Insects and Crustacea is preserved in cabi¬ 
nets. They may be seen by persons who wish to consult them for the 
purposes of study, (by application to the Keeper of the Zoological Col¬ 
lection,) every Tuesday and Thursday. To prevent disappointment, 
it is requested that persons wishing to see those collections, will apply 
two days previous to their intended visit. 
The following is the arrangement of the families of Annulose Animals ,
