cirri's Usage Examples:

These, with Darwin's three families above mentioned, complete the section of genuine cirripedes now existing.

The vernacular name barnacle, traceable to the fable of pedunculate cirripedes hatching out into bernicle geese, has also been transferred to the sessile cirripedes, which are popularly known as acorn barnacles.

Gibbula, with jaws, three pairs of epipodial cirri without pigment spots at their bases, British.

Margarita, five to seven pairs of epipodial cirri with a pigment spot at base of each.

- A, Balanus (young), side rami are multiarticulate view with cirri protruded.

In addition to tentacles, there may be marginal cirri (Laodice) with a solid endodermal axis, spirally coiled, very contractile, and bearing a terminal battery of nematocysts.

Its six pairs of limbs are not like the bare and simple feet of the Laura, but two-branched and setose as in the ordinary cypris-stage of the cirripede.

The first is still limited to the single genus and species Proteolepas bivincta (Darwin), parasitic within the sac of another cirripede.

It is generally stated that cirripedes are confined to salt water, and, generally speaking, that is true.

The oral hood with its cirri has a special nerve supply and musculature by which the cirri can be either spread out, or bent inwards so that those of one side may interdigitate with those of the other, thus completely closing the entrance to the mouth.

The vestibule of the mouth is the space bounded by the oral hood; this arises by secondary downgrowth of lid-like folds over the true oral aperture, and is provided with a fringe of tentacular cirri, each of which is supported by a solid skeletal axis.

There are other gills developed in addition to those which represent the cirri.

(A portion of the fringe of cirri is removed to show the brachial membrane and a portion of the spiral extremities of the arms.
