Excerpt from Monograph of the Shallow-Water Starfishes of the North Pacific Coast From the Arctic Ocean to California, Vol. 1: With 110 Plates
A small collection, mostly from Bering Sea, was sent to me by the U. S. National Museum, and was very useful for the more Arctic species. I am also indebted to the National Museum, through the kindness of Dr. R. Rathbun and Miss M. J. Rathbun, for photo graphs of the type specimens of the several species early described by Dr. Wm. Stimpson, which have been of great use and are now reproduced on my plates. Several of these have not been previously figured.
The report was very nearly finished, mostly in its present form, previous to 1904, and forty-three plates had been engraved and printed at that time.
