Note 83 — 1. Genus—BALANUS, Auct.[83]

The name Balanus was used, almost as at present, by Lister and Hill, before the introduction of the binomial system. Since that period the first two authors, as far as I know, who used this name, were Da Costa, in his ‘Hist. Nat. Test. Brit.,’ in 1778; and Bock, in the ‘Naturforscher,’ for the same year; Bock, however, applied it to a Chelonobia.
