Abstract

Although the remains of pedunculated Cirripedes are comparatively rare in the Chalk of England, especially in its lower zones, one can, by careful collecting extended over a number of years, get together a fair series of the detached valves of the capitulum. Thus a very fine series of Cirripede remains has been accumulated by Dr. H. P. Blackmore, F.G.S., from the upper zones of the Chalk near Salisbury. This collection, which, through the kindness of Dr. Blackmore, I have lately had the opportunity of examining, is especially rich in the valves of Scalpellum fossula, Darwin, and S. maximum (J. de C. Sowerby).
