Abstract
HÆMOGLOBIN is known from many groups of Crustacea, excluding Malacostraca; but it has not previously been found in the non-parasitic Cirripedia1. It is, therefore, interesting to record the occurrence of hæmoglobin in Balanus perforatus Bruguiére, a common intertidal barnacle of southern Britain, south-west Europe, the Mediterranean and north-west Africa.
