PLATE 29.
CIRRI AND LARVÆ, FIRST STAGES.
- Fig. 1, Sixth cirrus of Balanus amphitrite (var. cirratus), showing
the muscles.
- a, b, flexor and extensor muscles, moving the upper segment
(i to k) of the pedicel.
- c and d, flexor and extensor muscles, apparently moving the
lower segments of both rami, as a whole; the lower articulations
in these rami being confluent.
- e and f, flexor and extensor muscles extending up both rami
(those only in the near ramus being figured) to their tips.
- g g, flexors of the separate segments in both rami.
- h, basal articulation of lower segment of the pedicel.
- i, upper articulation of lower segment of the pedicel.
- k, upper articulation of upper segment of pedicel.
- 2, Fourth cirrus of Acasta sulcata.
- i, upper articulation of the lower segment of pedicel.}
- k, upper articulation of the upper segment of pedicel.}
- l, curved teeth on the pedicel.
- m,””on the segments of the anterior ramus.
- 3, Third cirrus of Chthamalus antennatus.
- 4, Second cirrus of Balanus perforatus, viewed exteriorly and
laterally.
- 5, Third cirrus of Xenobalanus globicipitis.
- 6, Sixth”””
- 7, Spermatozoa (copied from Mr. C. Spence Bate, in ‘Annals and
Mag. of Natural History’ (S. 2), vol. viii, Pl. VIII).
- a, of Verruca Strömia, in an early condition.
- b, of Balanus balanoides, more mature.
- c, of Balanus perforatus, apparently mature.
- 8, Larva of Scalpellum vulgare, immediately after coming out of
the egg, seen on the ventral surface (letters of reference
given below).
- 9, Larva of Balanus balanoides, immediately after coming out of
the egg, seen on the ventral surface, copied from Mr. C.
Spence Bate’s drawing in ‘Annals and Magazine of Natural
History’ (S. 2), vol. viii, Plate VI, fig. 1 (letters of
reference given below).
- 10, Larva of Chthamalus stellatus, after the first moult, but
during the first stage, seen on the ventral surface, copied;
with some alterations, from Mr. C. Spence Bate’s drawing
in ‘Annals and Magazine of Natural History’ (2 Ser.),
vol. viii, Plate VIII, fig. 13.
- (The following letters apply to above figs. 8, 9, 10.)
- a, eye.
- b, first pair of antennæ, not observed in fig. 9.
- b′, the same antennæ, as yet encased (in fig. 8) within small
horns.
- c, horns, including the second pair of antennæ.
- d, mouth, probosciformed: in fig. 8, the specimen having
been acted on by potash, the œsophagus can be seen
within, with the orifice beneath the swelling, which
latter perhaps answers to the labrum.
- e, first, uniramous natatory leg (homologically the second
thoracic limb).
- f g, second and third, biramous natatory legs (homologically
the third and fourth thoracic limbs.)
- h, posterior point of carapace.
- i, forked terminal projection of the body or abdomen.
- l, second forked projection.
- m, two sharp points, apparently representing a third forked
projection.
- n, a rounded swelling, apparently lying between the carapace
and the supposed abdomen, and believed to form the
anus.
