Abstract
IN the course of a quantitative survey of the Manx intertidal zone, the high-water barnacle, Chthamalus stellatus Poli, was discovered at Port St. Mary and has since been found to be generally distributed around the island. The rediscovery has been thought worth recording in view of the apparent conflict between previous accounts for the area (present: Darwin, 18541, Marrat, 1886 2; absent: Moore and Kitching (1934), 1939 3), and because of the great interest in the species in its more sparse localities.
