It's #MonographMonday!

This one is from Charles Darwin's work on fossil gooseneck barnacles (Volume 5, Issue 13 1951).

Darwin had a love-hate relationship with barnacles. The following year he wrote to his second cousin, W. D. Fox, and said that "[he] hate[d] a barnacle as no man ever did before".

Each figure contains multiple detailed drawings of barnacle plates and structures, labelled with numbers and showing different views, sections, and magnifications.Fig 1: Pollicipes concinnus Fig 2: Pollicipes ooliticus Fig 3: Pollicipes hausmanni Fig 4: Pollicipes politus Fig 5: Pollicipes elongatus Fig 6: Pollicipes acuminatus Fig 7: Pollicipes angelini Fig 8: Pollicipes reflexus Fig 9: Pollicipes carinatus Fig 10: Pollicipes glaber Fig 11: Pollicipes nilsonii
