Liverpool Marine Biology Committee LMBC Memoirs on Typical British Marine Plants and Animals XXV: Asterias

Abstract

To this useful series of descriptions of common marine animals and plants Mr. Chadwick has previously contributed excellent accounts of Echinus, Antedon, and Echinoderm Larvae. This description of our common starfish (Asterias rubens), with its nine carefully drawn and clearly reproduced plates, even betters his previous performance.
