| Abstract |
This manual treats the estuarine and coastal marine barnacles of the northeastern Atlantic from the Gulf of St. Lawrence to Cape Hatteras, N.C. The introduction includes a review of the general biology, classification, and diagnostic features of the five orders of Cirripedia, and an annotated species list covers those cirripeds reported from the region. The bulk of the manual is devoted to aids in the identification of barnacles (Order Thoracica), and includes an illustrated systematic key to species augmented by a discussion and glossary of morphologic terms, and a guide to study methods. |
