Note 44 — Class—CRUSTACEA. Sub-Class—CIRRIPEDIA. (continued 4)

M. Sander Rang rejects the specific name “univalvis,” as signifying a generic character, and he has been followed in this by MM. Quoy and Gaimard themselves. This, according to the Rules of the British Association, would hardly have been a sufficient reason, but it appears that A. parasita, like A. minuta, has a pair of horny scuta or valves; and, therefore, the name univalvis is too obviously false to be retained. With respect to the generic name Triton, I fully believe that it was applied by Linnæus to the cast-off exuviæ of sessile Cirripedes.
