The Echinoderm Fauna of Torres Strait: Its Composition and Its Origin

""The Echinoderm Fauna of Torres Strait: Its Composition and Its Origin"" is a scientific book written by Hubert Lyman Clark and published in 1921. The book is a comprehensive study of the echinoderm fauna (a group of marine animals that includes sea stars, sea urchins, and sea cucumbers) found in Torres Strait, a narrow body of water that separates Australia and Papua New Guinea. The book provides a detailed description of the various species of echinoderms found in Torres Strait, including their physical characteristics, distribution, and behavior. It also examines the origin and evolution of these animals, discussing their relationships to other species and how they have adapted to their environment over time. Clark's research is based on extensive fieldwork and laboratory studies, and the book includes numerous illustrations and photographs to aid in the identification of different species. The book is aimed at a scientific audience, but it is also accessible to anyone with an interest in marine biology and the natural world. Overall, ""The Echinoderm Fauna of Torres Strait"" is an important contribution to the field of marine biology and a valuable resource for anyone studying or working in this area.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
