Patella vulgata (Limpet), with its conical shell adhering to the rocks of our coasts, is well known to every sea-side wanderer. This member of the Gasteropoda has been the subject of many scientific memoirs in ancient and modern times. Amongst naturalists, Aristotle was the earliest who gave an account of some of the limpet’s habits, and Cuvier was the first to describe its anatomy. In this paper the author intends to describe the chemical properties of the secretions of two problematical organs of this interesting little Gasteropod.
