About this product

Product Information

Excerpt from Smithsonian Institution United States National Museum Bulletin 76, Vol. 2: Asteroidea of the North Pacific and Adjacent Waters Part 1 of this work, comprising the Phanerozonia and Spinulosa, was issued on June 30, 1911. The present part contains an account of the families Brisingidae, Zoroasteridae, and four subfamilies of the Asteriidae - the Pedicellasterinae, Labidiasterinae, Coscinasteriinae, and Pycpodiinae. The remainder of the Forcipulata will be described in the final installment, the manuscript of which is completed. Material for study has been derived from the sources which were indicated in Part 1 (p. 1). In addition I have gone over the British Museum collection; some of the types in the Museum'd Histoire Naturelle at Paris; the collection of the Peabody Museum, Yale University (including a part of Verrill's material); and all of the collection of the United States National Museum. Through the kindness of Dr. T. Odhner, of the Riksmuseum, Stockholm, I received a small collection from the Vega Expedition as well as miscellaneous Arctic specimens for comparison. The Victoria Memorial Museum (w the National Museum of Canada), Ottawa, forwarded certain of VerruTs types. Dr. Th. Mortensen loaned cotypes of Asterias amurensis and an authentic example of Leptasterias ochotensis. Dr. Jules Richard, of the Mus6e Ocagraphique at Monaco, loaned a cotype of Sclerasterias guernei. Dr. H. L. Clark loaned a considerable amount of material from the rich collection of the Museum of Comparative Zoology and, with great patience, has allowed me to dissect many of the AsteriidEe in his care; while Mr. Austin H.Clark has been equally liberal with material from the National Collection. Prof. Wesley R.Coe has aided me in my study of Verri Ustypes at the Peabody Museum and in the search for those which are missing. I have been greatly indebted to Dr. R.Kirkpatrick, of the British Museum, for a number of photographs, tes on types, and for the loan of specimens prior to a special trip which I made in 1923 to the British Museum. Dr. C.McLean Fraser, formerly director of the Canadian Biological Station, Nanaimo, British Columbia, has contributed specimens and aided my search for others at Departure Bay, British Columbia. The California Academy of Sciences has financed considerable collecting in the region of Puget Sound and in Lower California. The material is credited in the lists of specimens.
