XVI.—On the Structure and Life-History of Metephelota coronata gen. nov., sp. nov. (Suctoria, Ephelotidæ)
The present paper records an investigation into a new and unusual suctorian, found epizoic on the cuticle of the Cirripede, Conchoderma aurita . The Cirripede host was obtained from a Blue Whale ( Balaenoptera musculus ), in the S. Pacific. The collection was made at the Whaling Factory Ship Souther...
