Extract

H. C. Lea (1843, 1846), in papers on molluscs from the Tertiary of Virginia, described and illustrated the scutum and carina of a scalpellid barnacle, which he mistakenly identified as two new species of molluscs. The scutum was described as Avicula multangulata (after 1843 as A. multangula) and the carina as Patella acinaces. Conrad (1863), Meek (1864), d'Orbigny (1852), and Heilprin (1884) listed these species in their enumerations of the Tertiary molluscan fauna. Meyer (1888, p. 138) was the first to recognize the cirriped nature of these fossils. He correctly identified the plates as scutum and carina, assigned them to Scalpellum magnum Darwin, 1851, an English Pliocene species, and provided detailed figures of the type specimens from the collection of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia (Meyer, 1888, figs. 11, 12a).
