Note 27 — Class—CRUSTACEA. Sub-Class—CIRRIPEDIA. (continued 2)

Professor Macgillivray does not consider the species, which he has described under L. nauta, and which I cannot doubt is the same with the present species, as the L. anserifera of Linnæus; but I find it so named in all old collections, and it seems to agree very well with Linnæus’s description. There has been much groundless confusion about this species; I have no hesitation in giving A. striata, of Brugière, as a synonym, though I have received from Paris the Lepas pectinata of this volume, named as the A. striata; and on the other hand, Poli has incorrectly called a common variety of L. pectinata by the name of L. anserifera.
