When after a period the pupal membranes of the sack, thorax, and natatory legs are moulted, the cirri of the young Cirripede are curled up, and its thorax is raised towards the orifice, and we have the animal in its ordinary position, and perfect with the exception of a few parts to be further developed or modified. For, instead of calcareous valves, we have at this period only the so-called primordial valves, composed of chitine; and in the case of _Lepas australis_, some minute spines and some coloured marks on the peduncle, which soon disappear. The muscles, which enter the three terminal segments of the antennæ in the pupa, have to be absorbed and converted into ligamentous threads. In Lepas, the labrum has to become bullate; and the cæca have to increase in number round the upper end of the stomach, and their dark colour and that of the whole alimentary canal has to disappear or be much weakened. The filamentary appendages at the bases of the cirri, which generally contain some of the testes, have to be developed. The probosciformed penis, which at first equals only the pedicels of the posterior cirri in length, and is apparently imperforate, has to increase greatly in length. The testes and vesiculæ seminales have to be formed. And lastly, and this is a more important point, the two gut-formed cement-glands (or incipient ovaria, _t_, fig. 2, Pl. 30) which, at the period of the moulting of the carapace and eye-apodemes, and when the whole animal was upturned, came to occupy, together with the cement-ducts (_t′_), their normal position, _i. e._ nearly parallel to the sternal surface, now undergo further changes. Their upper and posterior ends lying near the cæca of the stomach, increase in size, but retain nearly the same character, and thus form the two true ovaria; their middle parts become emptied of their cellular contents, and are converted into the two simple ovarian tubes; and their lower ends branch out, inosculate, and form the inextricable mass of ovarian tubes and cæca. The points of junction on each side between the two cement-ducts and the newly branched ovarian tubes, become now developed into the two cement-glands. The cement-ducts, which continue throughout life growing, either still enter the old antennæ and there pour out the cement-tissue, or they pour it out through special orifices formed for this purpose in the lower part of the peduncle. The changes, supervening during the metamorphosis, in the ovaria and in the cementing apparatus, here described, I have no doubt are general throughout the Order.
