TitleDrawings, larva and adult Lepas anserifera and Cineras vittatus by unknown artist
Date[1835]
DescriptionPlate 5, figures 1-6 showing the ova, larva, and adult form of the Lepas anserifera [goose barnacle] and the larva of the Cineras vittatus [Doxander vittatus?]. Inscribed with publication and plate details. An ink inscription below reads 'Should these figures be engraved, it would be better to remove fig. 5 away from the legs of fig. 2 and place it at the opposite side. Those parts of the legs which it at present conceals could then be completed from those of the other side'. This is indeed what happened, as figure 5 is represented separately in the published plate. Figure 6 is pasted on top of the other figures as a flap, partially obscuring figures 1 and 3. Not signed. The manuscript for this paper is wanting.

Subject: Zoology

Published in Philosophical Transactions as part of paper titled 'Discovery of the metamorphosis in the second type of the cirripedes, viz. the lepades, completing the natural history of these singular animals, and confirming their affinity with the crustacea' by John Vaughan Thompson.

Received by the Royal Society on 3 January 1835. Read 5 March 1835.
