The general shape of the whole animal is rather more elongated, and I suspect flatter, but this latter point could not be positively ascertained in dry specimens. The entire length is greater, being in the largest specimen 13/400 (instead of at most 11/400), and the width, 7/400 of an inch. The orifice is not fimbriated; the four bristly points over the calcareous beads are absent. The whole outer integument is much thinner, owing evidently to its protected position, and is not covered by little bristles, but with an extremely high power, minute points arranged in transverse lines can be distinguished. The calcareous beads, or rudimentary valves, are thin and regularly oval. It is remarkable that in all the specimens, two on one side were smaller than the two on the other side,--the smaller beads being 16/6000, and the larger, 22/6000 of an inch in diameter; therefore more than twice the size of one of the beads in _S. vulgare_, which are only 9/6000 externally in diameter. From the position of the eye, close to one margin, near the upper end of the flattened animal, and from the manner in which the little limbs and spines lay between two of the beads at the opposite end, it was manifest that these latter, one large and one small, corresponded with the terga of the other cirripedes, and that the other two, near the eye, answered to the scuta. The valves being of unequal sizes on the right and left-hand sides of the animal, is probably connected with one side being pressed against the hard, shelly valve of the female; in the same way as the valves in certain Pæcilasmas; are smaller and flatter on the side nearest to the crustacean to which they are attached. The eye, in being slightly notched on the upper and lower edge, shows signs of really consisting of two eyes, which I believe is always normally the case; it is rather larger, in the proportion of 13 to 11, being 13/12,000 of an inch in diameter, than in _S. vulgare_; and from the almost perfect transparency of the integuments, is far more conspicuous than in that species. Hence when the valves of the female are opened, the black little eye is the first part of the male which catches the attention. No vestige of a mouth could be discovered.
