Description

This dataset is from a paper by Dora P. Henry (1957) about some littoral barnacles from the Tuamotu, Marshall and Caroline Islands.

A small number of barnacles collected by the Pacific Science Board expeditions at three localities - Ngarumaoa, Tuamotu Islands; South Loi Island, Marshall Islands; and Ifaluk Atoll, Caroline Islands - was sent to the author for identification. In all, there are seven species: three from the Caroline Islands, one from the Marshall Islands, and four, including one new species, from the Tuamotu Islands. In addition, a few barnacles collected by the Albatross at Makemo, Tuamotu Islands, were borrowed from the U.S. National Museum (USNM) to compare with the new material.
