Note 75 — 1. Family BALANIDÆ, (or Sessile Cirripedes). (continued 3)

Linnæus speaks of the included body (inhabitant as he calls it) of other Cirripedes, as a Triton; and this, I think, shows that Lesson’s conjecture that the Triton was an Alepas cannot be correct; for Linnæus could hardly have supposed that a pedunculated cirripede inhabited another pedunculated or sessile cirripede.
