Extract

In the year 1865 I noticed the occurrence of what appeared to be a sessile Cirripede from the Upper Chalk of Norwich, and referred it to Leach's genus Pyrgoma. For this unique example the name of Pyrgoma cretacea was then proposed, and afterwards, in 1868, it was more fully described and figured by me in the GeologicalMagazine. I also pointed out that Charles Darwin, in his Monograph on the Fossil Cirrepedia, had described a fossil form belonging to this genus under the name of Pyrgoma anglicum, from the Coralline Crag of Ramsholt, Suffolk, a species found living off the south coast of England and of Ireland, Sicily, Madeira, Cape de Verde Islands, etc.; while Michelotti had named, but not described, a species (Pyrgoma undata) from the North Italian Tertiary strata.
