naked, and at others covered with hairy or hard shelly 
scale-like appendages; 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 species 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 
Chilians.
