In my former volume, I have insisted on the important and curious results which ensue from the eye-apodemes penetrating so deeply into the body (see Pl. 30, fig. 7, in which the proportions are more correct than in fig. 2), with the eyes attached exteriorly to their outer arms; for as these apodemes have to be ejected, the external membrane of the young Cirripede (Pl. 30, fig. 2) has to be formed in a deep fold or arch over them, and consequently the membrane on the sternal surface is formed considerably longer than on the dorsal surface. From this it follows, when all the membranes are free and are stretched fully out after the moult, that the whole animal, posteriorly to the cemented-down surface, turns vertically up, and assumes its normal position at right angles to the surface of attachment, and to that which it held in its pupal condition; for the pupa always adheres with its sternal surface parallel to the surface of attachment. A young Lepas, which has just moulted its pupal carapace, and has assumed its proper vertical position, with the cemented antennæ and the surface of attachment remaining as before, is shown at fig. 3, but is drawn on a smaller scale than the pupa fig. 2, out of which it may be supposed to have been excluded. In this fig. 3, it may be observed that the natatory legs and caudal appendages of the pupa have not as yet been moulted. The fact of the stretching out, in the young Cirripede, of the fold of membrane, which in pupa, just before the metamorphosis passes over the apodemes and eyes, is well shown by three darkly-coloured bands in the corium, which in the pupa are curled, but after the moult, are stretched straight out on the peduncle of the young Lepas. The pupa, and consequently the young Cirripede, from being attached at first by the antennæ, does not adhere by the actual anterior extremity, but by the sternal surface near it; the anterior extremity, however, soon becomes cemented down, and afterwards, in ordinary cases, ceases to grow. In Cryptophialus, however, and in certain genera of the Lepadidæ, as Alcippe, Lithotrya, and Anelasma, the anterior or basal extremity does continue to grow, and is not cemented down, and therefore comes to be prolonged beyond the original point of attachment; in order to allow of this, the surface to which the Cirripede is attached has to yield, apparently simply to the pressure exerted in the case of Anelasma, but in the three other genera, to the rasping action of the roughened surface of the extremity of the peduncle.
