North American Starfishes

Abstract

THIS memoir consists of two parts. The first contains a history of the Embryology of the Starfish, which is substantially the same as that published in 1864 as Part I., Vol. v., of Prof. Agassiz's “Natural History of the United States.” The author has, however, added notes on the points where additions have been made by subsequent investigations. The second part treats of the solid parts of some North American starfishes.
