About This Book

The volume offers a popular, illustrated survey of the radiate animals found along the Massachusetts coast, presenting descriptive accounts of polyps, jelly‑fish, ctenophores, hydroids, and echinoderms. It explains external form and internal anatomy, life cycles and embryology, and principles of classification, and discusses distribution and methods of collecting. Numerous nature‑based illustrations accompany taxonomic sketches and systematic tables, while the text links observable field characters to broader morphological and developmental themes to serve both general readers and students of natural history.
