Note 90 — Section B.

Reading edition

If I have assigned the specific title of galeatus to the wrong species, yet Say’s name of elongatus ought not strictly to be admitted; as the Lepas elongata of Gmelin is a Balanus,—probably a variety of Balanus crenatus. I may add, that as the Lepas galeata of Schröter (‘Einleitung in die Conch.’ &c.), was attached to a Gorgonia from the East Indies, it cannot be our present species, but probably is one of the three other allied species, which all occur in India.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
