England below low-water mark, and is in some respects like Crossaster. More closely allied to Asterias is the Pacific Coast Pycno- podia helianthoides Stimpson, which ranges from Sitka to Mendocino, Cal. It is very common in Paget Sound, under wharves. Asterias vulgaris Stimpson represents, on the northeastern coast, the A. rubens of Europe. Asterias polaris (M. and T.) has six arms, and is over twelve inches.
