Abstract
THE Australasian barnacle Elminius modestus Darwin was first recorded by Bishop1 as occurring in very large numbers on the Admiralty Raft moored in the mouth of Chichester Harbour, in July 1945. Crisp and Chipperfield2 recorded the species from the Essex coast in October of the same year. Both authors extended the area of distribution with records made in 1946–47. From the distance apart of the earliest two published records it would appear that E. modestus was already well established in the summer of 1945.
