Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Report on the Starfishes of the West Indies, Florida, and Brazil: Including Those Obtained by Bahama Expedition From the University of Iowa in 1893

It is rarely that more than twelve to fifteen species can be found by careful shore and reef-collecting at any one place.
