The collection of Cirripedes in the United States National Museum contains material derived from many sources. The most extensive series was received from the United States Bureau of Fisheries, and is due to the work of the steamers Albatross and Fish Hawk over twenty-five years or more in both the Atlantic and Pacific waters

This paper deals with the pedunculate cirripedes of the sessile famy Verrucidae only. All species represented in the National Museum are mentioned or described, and incidentally all known species of the United States and adjacent waters are treated monographically, though descriptive matter relating to well-known forms is restricted to keys for the determination of species
