Extract

A description is given of characters which allow the larval stages of Balanus balanoides, B. crenatus and Verruca stroemia to be identified rapidly.

It is emphasized that the characters used in this method of identification are only valid for these three species inter se, further work on similar lines for other species may reveal difficulties not apparent in the present scheme.
