DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Monograph of the Shallow-Water Starfishes of the North Pacific Coast From the Arctic Ocean to California, Vol. 1: With 110 Plates The Starfishes collected by the Harriman Alaska Expedition were sent to Professor A. E. Verrill for study and report; and through the courtesy of various museums of the United States and Canada numerous additional specimens from the West Coast were placed in his hands. With this rich material at his disposal, Professor Verrill undertook a monographic revision of the Starfishes inhabiting the shallow waters of the Pacific from Arctic Alaska south to California. In the course of three or four years (by 1904) the larger part of the monograph had been written, most of the species (including Stimpson's types, in the United States National Museum) had been photographed, and more than 40 plates had been reproduced and printed. But pressure of other duties so delayed the completion of the work that a dozen years have elapsed since it was begun. The long delay, however, has not been without compensations, for much new material has come to Professor Verrill's hands, including collections from Patagonia and Fuegia, enabling him to add matter of great importance on the geographic distribution of the group. In the meantime, Mr. E. H. Harriman, organizer and patron of the Expedition, having passed away, the publication of the work, with its large series of plates, has been generously provided for by Mrs. Harriman. In view of Professor Verrill's lifelong studies of the Starfishes, it is believed that the present monograph will long remain a standard authority on the subject, and that it will receive a hearty welcome from all workers on the Echinoderms.
