Note 33 — 1. Family BALANIDÆ, (or Sessile Cirripedes).
Reading edition
M. Martin St. Ange describes, in his ‘Mémoire sur l’Organisation des Cirripèdes,’ pp. 15 and 32, “une petite langue” in the mouth of Lepas; but I may venture to assert that such does not exist; it is merely the point of union between the outer maxillæ. M. St. Ange, in his comparison of the mouth of Lepas with that of Phyllosoma, compares the mandible of the latter with the palpus of Lepas; the first maxilla of Phyllosoma with the mandible of Lepas; and so on with the other gnathites.
