THE occurrence of neurosecretory cells or their products has not hitherto been demonstrated in the Cirripedia. By analogy with the situation in many other crustaceans the neurosecretory organs of which have recently been the object of much investigation, control of many of the metabolic processes in the Cirripedes might be expected to be under hormonal control originating in neurosecretory activities1.
