The known diseases of the Class Cirripedia are reviewed. A previously unreported viral disease of the ivory barnacle, Balanus eburneus is described. The results of light and electron microscopic examinations of viral-infected tissues of an ivory barnacle are reported. The pathologic alterations of the parenchymal tissues and the cellular lesions produced by the invasion and replication of the virus in parenchymal cells are described. The large mature enveloped icosahedral virion (mean length 222 nm and width 175 nm) conforms to the larger viruses of the Iridovirus group of the family Iridoviridae.
