CXIII. An Account of several rare Species of Barnacles. In a Letter to Mr. Isaac Romilly, F.R.S. from John Ellis, Esq; F.R.S.
London, Dec. 21. 1758.
Dear Sir,
Read Dec. 21, 1758.
THOSE rare and very extraordinary new species of Barnacles, which you have lately received from abroad, are so different from any of the common species, that I have seen, that I was resolved to inquire into the nature of an animal, which, like a Proteus, appears in so many different shapes or coverings in different parts of the world. For this end I have consulted that excellent collection in the British Museum, and some others in the cabinets of my curious friends.
In this inquiry I met with some very rare ones, which have not yet been described, as you will observe in the annexed plate [See Tab. [XXXIV.]], where I have given exact drawings of yours, as well as the other species of this genus.
