Abstract
Alessandri1, Gruvel2 and Davadie-Suaudeau3, in their works on the cirripedes, have directed attention to figures or patterns in the shell plates of various species of sessile barnacles, and further work may prove these to be an important taxonomic characteristic for species identification; but this seems to have been somewhat neglected.
