_Generative System._--Within the muscular layer all round the upper part of the peduncle, and surrounding the stomach, there are numerous, little, rather irregular globular balls, with brown granular centres, so closely resembling the testes in other Cirripedes, though of smaller size, that I cannot doubt that this is their nature: they were much plainer, larger, and more numerous in some specimens than in others. The vesiculæ seminales can seldom be made distinctly out; but having cut one specimen transversely across the thorax, they were as plain as could be desired, lying parallel and close to each other above the rectum, (the animal being in the position as drawn,) and therefore in their normal situation. Each had a diameter four times as great as that of the rectum. In this individual the contents seemed (whether from decomposition or state of development, or from my not having used high enough power, I know not,) merely pulpy; but I have since found, in another specimen, masses of the most distinct spermatozoa, with the usual little knots on them, associated with numerous cells, about as large as and resembling those which I have examined in living Cirripedes, and from which I have every reason to believe the spermatozoa are developed. The vesiculæ seminales unite and terminate under the two extremely minute caudal appendages, and here I think I saw an orifice; but there is certainly no projecting, probosciformed penis. Having dissected the six specimens with the utmost care, and having scrupulously examined the ovaria in other Cirripedes during their early stages of development, even before the exuviation of the larval locomotive organs, and in specimens of smaller size than the male Ibla, I am prepared to assert that there are no ovaria, and that these little creatures are exclusively males. It should be borne in mind, that in some of the specimens there were perfect spermatozoa in the vesiculæ seminales (as likewise in some of the males of _I. quadrivalvis_), and, therefore, if these individuals had been hermaphrodites, their ova would have been, at this period, well developed, and ready for impregnation: in this state it is almost impossible that they could have been overlooked. Moreover, it is probable that such ova would not have been very small, for the larvæ whence the parasitic males are derived, attain (as might have been inferred from the known dimensions of their prehensile antennæ, and as we shall show actually is the case in _I. quadrivalvis_,) the size common amongst ordinary Cirripedia.
