"A Monograph on the Sub-class Cirripedia (Volume 2 of 2)" by Charles Darwin is a scientific publication written in the mid-19th century. This work serves as a detailed account and analysis of the sub-class Cirripedia, which includes barnacles and related species. It explores various aspects of their anatomy, classification, and reproduction, reflecting Darwin's intricate observations and studies in marine biology. The opening of the monograph sets the stage for a thorough examination of Cirripedes, beginning with a transcriber's note and a table of contents that outlines the volume's structure. Darwin introduces the book by mentioning his past work on the Lepadidæ family of Cirripedia and hints at the depth of analysis that will follow, covering topics such as the anatomical features of barnacles, their sexual characteristics, and their metamorphoses. The preface expresses gratitude to various naturalists who assisted him, emphasizing the collaborative nature of scientific inquiry, which is central to the ethos of his exploration of this unique marine class.
