  • Description: 79. The genus Appendicularia was first formed by Chamisso from an animal found by him near Behring's Straits, and thus described: "Corpus gelatinosum, subovoideum, vix quartam pollicis partem æquans, punctis rubescentibus (interaneis) transparentibus. Appendix gelatinosa cestoidea, rubro marginata corpore duplo vel triplo longior. Muto flexuoso natationi inserviens. Motus animalis vividus." And he adds, "genus ultra recognoscendum, generi Cestum (Les.) forsitan affine." The specific name "flagellum" was conferred upon the animal, and it was figured (P.XXXI.), through very indifferently. Ten years afterwards (in 1828) Mertens, voyaging in the same regions, rediscovered this animal, and he subsequently published a long account of it under the name of Oikopleura Chamissonis.
