Verrillconsiders it different from either of these last two. We must thankDr. Clark for this information, as well as for the identification ofthe remaining species of starfish. This form is fairly common in the tide pools and under stonesnot far from shore. Pisiister capitatiis Stimpson. Fig. 3 This is our most beautiful species, but is not as common as thenext species with which it is often found.
