From the start of my research career, I was fully interested in the embryology of sea cucumbers, particularly in Holothuria scabra. At present we have attained an increase in our survival rate from 5% to 15% without using sterilized seawater. We hope to increase it still more by using microbe-free-water. We are using different algaldiets for its growth which to our excitement has affected greatly its metamorphosis and cycle duration. I am still carrying on my research by making seacucumber hatchery and culture a commercial one in par with that of shrimpculture.

Currently, we focus on manipulating gametogenesis of the green sea urchin for applications in land based aquaculture and on understanding leukemogenesis and the effects of antineoplastic drug therapies on leukemia in the softshell clam model for acute lymphocytic leukemia in humans. The Sea Urchin Model - On the eastern coast of the United States, adult, green sea urchins ( Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis) are the subject of a fishery for their ripe gonads. Unregulated harvesting has resulted in loss of productive beds and a projected collapse of the fishery. A suite of technologies exists for developing modular, land-based aquaculture ventures that depends on manpulating sea urchin genes relevant to the somatic and gametogenic cells within the gonads. In particular, the cDNA sequences for a major yolk protein (MYP) and for the transcription factor c-myc are important. Together with the urchin industry, we are using molecular procedures to produce urchins that are characterized by superior size, taste, color, texture and firmness.

Stylophora (Comuta, Mitrata): situation au sein du phylum des echinodermes et phylogenese. 630 p. University Claude Bernard - Lyon I (France). 92 Stylophora (Cornuta, Mitrata): situation au sein du phylum des echinodermes et phylogenese Contributed by Bertrand Lefebvre ABSTRACT Stylophorans (comutes, mitrates) constitute a group of Palaeozoic fossils whose phylogenetic position within or outside the phylum Echinodennata is still disputed. They are usually placed within "carpoids" or "homalozoans" along with solutes, cinctans and ctenocystoids. The unusual morphologies of these fossils can be interpreted in the light of a new model of skeletal homologies in echinoderms (EAT) described by Mooi et al. (1994). Solutes are probably derived from primitive eocrinoids and represent blastozoans with a single, erect axial arm (homologous to a brachiole). Cinctans and ctenocystoids are blastozoans characterized by the possession of two axial arms recumbent over the theca. The stylophoran aulacophore is a composite structure, consisting of a "true" arm comparable to a crinoid arm (distal and median parts) and of an expansion of the theca (proximal region). Consequently, (1) stylophorans are more closely related to crinoids than to blastozoans and, (2) homalozoans are polyphyletic. A significant systematic revision of the class Stylophora is proposed on the basis of a sound system of plate homologies. Ceratocystis is a primitive stylophoran belonging to the stem-group of Cornuta plus Mitrata. These two orders are monophyletic. Comutes derive from a Protocystites-like ancestor, and mitrates from a Lobocarpus-like primitive stylophoran. Lagynocystida are digital-bearing mitrates, Peltocystida are glossal-bearing mitrates, and in the Mitrocystitida both digital and glossal are present and incorporated into the marginal frame (primitive forms) or, as posterior spines (Anomalocystitidae). Fourteen species of stylophorans are described, including nine kirkocystids and a new species from the Llandeilo (Middle Ordovician) of Brittany: Diamphidiocystis regnaulti. Cover plates could open in life in all stylophorans. This opening was controlled by the degree of flexion of the arm. Different life modes have been proposed for stylophorans from the examination of the distribution of the ornamentation on the theca and on the arm. Respiration probably involved the water-vascular system, direct gaseous exchange through the thecal walls and through modified sutural pores ("accessory orifices" of comutes). Associated faunas (trilobites) and sedimentology suggest that stylophorans favored rather deep environments of middle to distal parts of the platform. Four distinct stylophoran assemblages corresponding to different palaeobathymetries have been identified in the Ordovician on the northern margin of the Gondwana. These assemblages are dominated by comutes at first (Tremadoc-Lower Arenig), but then the faunal component contributed by that group severely dimishes (Upper Afenig-Llandeilo). Comutes finally become extinct (Ashgill), possibly through competition from mitrates.

I am certainly not the only one nor the first to feel that it would be great to be able to somehow reach many echinoderm workers at the same time. After talking to a number of people I have decided to do something about it and I have now opened a mailing list for echinoderm scientists. The list is open to anyone conducting research on echinoderms, living and fossil. It is intended as an easy way to communicate information of any kind, e.g. announcements about meetings, and of course for the discussion of any scientific subject with relevance to echinoderms. For this to work, many people have to join the list. Therefore, I want to invite all of you to subscribe to the echinoderm mailing list ECHINODERM-L, hosted at the Swedish Museum of Natural History. You do so by sending an email to listserv@nrm.se with the first line in the body of the message containing the command SUBSCRIBE ECHINODERM-L Yourfirstname Yourlastname do not include any other text and leave the subject line empty. Your subscription will be acknowledged by a text providing detailed information about the list and its operation. If you experience any problems with joining the list, you may contact me directly at sabine.stohr@nrm.se. After you have subscribed to the list you can send messages to all participants at echinoderm-l@nnn.se. I will make every effort to keep this list free from unwanted messages (spam) and hope that this will not prove an unmanagable task.

Douglas McKenzie - I've left the Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS) and am now running Scotland's first marine biotechnology company (Integrin Advanced Biosystems Ltd). We deal mostly with marine invertebrates and will hopefully be continuing with some aspects of my echinoderm research, particularly cell cultures, surface coats and bacterial symbionts. Phylum Echinodermata is now on the Tree of Life Announcement and caU for participants Communicated by Greg Wray The Tree of Life project, organized by David Maddison of the University of Arizona, is a great resource for teaching and research — and a lot of fun to just browse. In brief, the aim of the project is to represent the hierarchical organization of life via world wide web pages that contain illustrations, group characteristics, and phylogenetic information. I've been asked to serve as the coordinator for our favorite phylum, and the base page for the phylum is now on line. A very nice page for Class Crinoidea (done by William Ausich and Charles Messing) has been up for some time. I like to invite you to visit these pages to get a feel for the Tree of Life project (the links are listed below). Please give the authors of their pages feedback about errors, omissions, arresting photos, and ideas for future features. While you're looking around, consider joining in the effort to flesh out some of the other major groups of echinoderms. Colin Sumrall and James Sprinkle have been working on some of the Paleozoic "oddball" groups, and Emily Knott is tackling the Class Asteroidea. If you would like to become involved in authoring a taxon (class, order, family, genus, or species), please let me know. Some groups are already spoken for, but many, many very interesting taxa need to be represented. No programming experience is necessary.

It was part of a mailout from the Museum library through a private sector mail contractor. There was a major problem with this mail reaching all overseas destinations because the ship it was on was held up in Columbo. The parcels were eventually despatched by surface mail from Columbo on 16 December 1999 and most have reached their intended recipients by about May/June 2000. However, if we have missed anyone or if any Palaeozoic echinoderm workers have not received copies please contact me and I shall post a copy immediately. The volume contains papers on Silurian/Devonian crinoids from Victoria, crinoids, asterozoa and blastoids from the Bokkeveld Series of South Africa, Upper Devonian crinoids and a blastoid from Western Australia, an Upper Cambrian carpoid from western Queensland, Australia- wide papers on Carboniferous and Permian crinoids with Gary Webster, and latest Ordovian to Devonian carpoids from Victoria with Marcello Ruta. If you have been on Gary Webster's or my echinoderm reprint exchange list and have not received the volume please let me know - it certainly was mailed and we would not be surprised if you have not received it. peter.jell@qm.qld.gov.au SEA URCHIN ( Tripneustes gratilla) RESEARCH PROJECT Marie Antonette Juinio-Menez, Ph.D. Marine Science Insitute University of the Philippines Diliman, Quezon City , Philippines 1101 From 1988 to 1992, the reef flats of Bolinao, Pangasman, Philippines supported a thriving sea urchin {Tripneustes gratilla) fishery that generated multimillion peso earnings per annum and employed thousands of coastal fisher families. However, uncontrolled and nonselective harvesting of spawning stocks led to the inevitable collapse Of the fishery in 1992 (Juinio-Menez et al., 1998). Despite a moratorium on commercial harvesting since 1992, no significant natural recruitment has been observed in the past few years. The sea urchin culture research was initiated at the Bolinao Marine Laboratory of the University of the Philippines Marine Science Institute in 1993 with the aim of enhancing the recovery of T. gratilla spawning populations in Bolinao through reseeding efforts and cage grow-out of cultured sea urchins. Grow-out culture in sea cages/pens was deemed to be a very promising mechanism for the sustainable management of sea urchin resources. Artificial aggregations of sea urchins in grow-out cages may increase fertilization success during spawning and enhance local larval recruitment. In addition, sea urchin grow-out culture can provide a supplemental source of livelihood for fisher- cooperators (reviewed in Juinio-Menez et al., 1998). To date, the project has successfully closed the entire life cycle of T. gratilla in the laboratory, and maintains the only echinoderm hatchery in the 99 country. The hatchery produces approximately 40,000 sea urchin seedstock (> 1 cm TD) per annum. The seedstock is used in pilot grow-out studies and made available to interested cooperators as well as for reseeding in marine protected areas. Sea urchins attain sexual maturity at an average size of 6.0 cm TD, about 8-9 months after settlement Experimental grow-out culture and reseeding of cultured sea urchins in Bolinao were conducted since 1996. At any one time there are 6,000-10,000 adult sea urc hins in the grow-out cages on the reef flat.. The sea urchins are harvested only when they attain a test diameter of 7.0 cm. In addition about 40,000 sea urchins were reseeded in selected reef areas in Bolinao. The impact of these enhancement activities is difficult to ascertain. However, for the first time in 1999, significant natural sea urchin recruits were observed at various reef areas in Bolinao. No recruits have been found in adjacent reefs including the Hundred Island National Park. During the same survey period in 1999. Recruits were particularly notable at the community managed marine reserve in Balingasay which was reseeded with over 2,000 cultured sea urchins in 1997. Strict implementation of the recently approved municipal fishery ordinance which prohibits the collection of sea urchins on a commercial scale will be essential to ensure recovery of natural sea urchin populations in the immediate future. The results of a preliminary larval dispersal model have suggested that sea urchin spawning populations in Bolinao may not be self-seeding, and that T. gratilla populations along the northwestern coast of Luzon may interconnected through reciprocal larval exchange (Juinio-Menez and Villanoy, 1994). In order to test this hypothesis, the project is also undertaking a population genetics study to determine the degree of genetic contiguity of T. gratilla populations along the Western coast of Luzon. Analyses of the genetic structure of the different populations will be very important in determining the appropriate scale of management of this valuable fishery resource as well as in monitoring the impact of reseeding and grow-out of cultured sea urchins on the genetic structure of natural populations. Current research funded by the Department of Agriculture - Bureau of Agricultural Research is geared towards the development of appropriate grow-out culture protocols and the promotion of grow-out technology to fishers in the community and selected localities along Western Luzon, using either cultured or wild seedstock. The project also conducts periodic workshops/trainings on sea urchin grow-out culture and management for fishery managers, extension workers, students, and interested fisherfolk.

This four-day conference will be a great opportunity for echinoderm biologists from a broad array of fields to exchange their recent research findings in a stunning location. The event will feature keynote addresses by Drs. John Pearse, Paul Tyler and Craig Young as well as sessions of oral and poster presentations. Check-in begins Wednesday afternoon with an opening reception that evening. A tentative schedule of events includes oral presentations Thursday morning through Saturday afternoon, and a poster session on Friday afternoon just before a traditional Maine Lobster Bake. There will be an evening cruise on Saturday to close the conference. We hope you accept this invitation to attend. In the coming weeks, additional information will be posted on the Darling Marine Center*s website. Enclosed you will find a history of these conferences written for us by Dr. John Lawrence, and some details about the Darling Marine Center and the surrounding region. Lastly we are attaching a pre-registration form. If you are planning to attend the conference, we would greatly appreciate your returning this form before September 1 5 so that we may better plan and coordinate the event and facilities. We look forwards to hearing from you! The Organizing Committee. NEAC History and Commentary by Dr. John Lawrence Echinoderm researchers from around the world gathered at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C. in 1 972 for the first International Echinoderm Conference. Participants at this meeting recommended that the international meeting be held every three years and that regional meetings be held in the intervening years. Though meetings have been held regularly in Europe since 1979, it was not until 1989 that the first North American Meeting was held as the Friends of Echinoderms at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab on the Alabama gulf coast. It was organized by James McClintock, Stephen Watts and Tom Hopkins. I remember very well talking with Tom Ebert and Malcolm Telford on the beach. Steve Stancyk and his crew of brittlestar people were there. The second Friends of Echinoderms meeting was in 1992 at the Harbor Branch 101 Oceanographic Institution, It was organized by Craig Young, Sid Bosch and myself. I brought a number of tins of canned sea urchin roe from Chile. There weren't many takers. Sid was disgusted I hadn't brought Chilean wine instead. Dan Blake commented to Fred Hotchkiss and me that he didn't recognize fifty percent of the persons there. I told him that was because fifty percent were younger than fifty. As some university adminstrators did not think a ''Friends'' meeting could have academic and scientific respectability, the title of the third meeting was changed to the North American Echinoderms Meeting. It was held in 1998 at the Wallops Island Marine Science Center in Virginia and organized by Thomas Klinger. I was particularly impressed with the participation of many graduate students such as Emily Knott, Anne Boettger, Kristina Wasson, Christopher Mah, Ana Christensen, Nature McGinn and Sophie Hill. At the other end of the generation span, Robert Hill talked about degenerating cucumber walls and John Ferguson discussed fluid balance. Rebecca Ferguson, John's wife, talked with Bob and found she had been a student at the University of Maine when he was an instructor there. Over the years, these meetings have served a useful purpose by allowing echinoderm biologists of a wide array of disciplines to come together in an informal way to become acquainted with each other and each other's work. The interaction between graduate students and established investigators has been particularly valuable. The 2001 NAEC Conference will certainly continue this tradition. I hope to see you there! - John Lawrence The Darling Marine Center and Maine*s Mid-coast The Darling Marine Center is the marine lab for the University of Maine. It located in the small village of Walpole, not for from Damariscotta, in heart of mid- coast Maine. The DMC is 60 miles north of Portland and just 3 hours from Boston by car. Maine's mid-coast area offers plenty to see and do including stunning vistas of rocky headlands and lighthouses, and beautiful beaches. Local communities are supported by a thriving lobster fishery, an oyster aquaculture industry, and of course, tourism. 4th North American Echinoderm Conference Pre-Registration Form Name: Address: E-mail address: Please return to E.

The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle by Hugh Lofting written in 1923 Part 6, chapter 5 The narrator is Tommy Stubbins, son of Jacob Stubbins, the cobbler of Puddleby-on-the-marsh. This episode concerns the difficulties is striking up a conversation with the Great Glass Sea-snail who eventually took the Doctor and his entourage from Spidermonkey Island back to England. THE SHELLFISH RIDDLE SOLVED AT LAST So Doctor Dolittle with a crown on his head sat down upon the shore like King Cnut, and waited And for a whole hour the porpoises kept going and coming, bringing up different kings of sea-beasts from the deep to see of they could help him. Many and curious were the creatures they produced. It would seem, however, that there were very few thing that spoke shellfish except the shellfish themselves. Still, the porpoises grew a little more hopeful when they discovered a very old sea urchin (a funny ball-like, little fellow with long whiskers all over him) who said he could not speak pure shellfish, but he used to understand starfish - enough to get along - when he was young. This was coming nearer, even if it wasn't anything to go crazy about. Leaving the urchin with us, the porpoises went out once more to hunt up a starfish. There were not long getting one, for they were quite common in those parts. Then, using the sea-urchin as an interpreter, they questioned the starfish. He was a rather a stupid sort of creature; but he tried his best to be helpful. And after a little patient examination we found to our delight that he could speak shellfish moderately well. Feeling quite encouraged, the Doctor and I now go into the canoe; and, with the porpoises, the urchin and the starfish swimming alongside, we paddled very gently out till we were close under the towering shell of the Great Snail. And then began the most curious conversation I have ever witnessed. First the starfish would ask the snail something; and whatever answer the snail gave, the starfish would tell it to the sea-urchin, the urchin would tell it to the porpoises and the porpoises would tell it to the Doctor. In this way we obtained considerable information, mostly abut the very ancient history of the Animal Kingdom; but we missed a good many of the finer points in the snail's longer speeches on account of the stupidity of the starfish and all this translating form one language to another. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Contributed by K. Emily Knott From Isabel Allende^Es Aphrodite: "For me, the penetrating odor of iodine stirs images not of wounds or surgeries, but of sea urchins, those strange creatures of the deep inevitably related to my initiation into the mystery of the senses. I was eight when the rough hand of a fisherman placed the tongue of a sea urchin in my mouth. When I visit Chile, I seek the opportunity to go to the coast and taste freshly caught sea urchins once more, and every time I am flooded by the same mixture of terror and fascination I felt during that first intimate encounter with a man. Those ocean creatures are inseparable in my mind from that fisherman, with his dark sack of shellfish streaming seawater, and my awakening sensuality." John D. MacDonald. A deadly shade of gold. "People don’t wear signs, and being dropped into a strange area is like a starfish landing on a strange oyster bed. You don’t know which one to open, or if you can open anything." Ill HOW I BEGAN STUDYING ECHINODERMS ☆☆☆ PART 10 Elisa Maldonado - UCLA It all began at 3 a.m. on June 21, 1997, when I met Gordon Hendler for the first time at the gates of the PG&E Nuclear Power Plant. Gordon had planned this VERY early morning venture as the prologue to the summer portion of the Museum Research Apprenticeship Program (MRAP) at the Los Angeles County Natural History Museum. I knew little about brittle stars, except for the fact that when Ophioderma panamense is involved in a righting-race against Asterina miniata and Strongylocentrotus franciscanus , the large brittle star is always sure to win. I learned this while volunteering summers at the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium in San Pedro, California, where I would take bets from captivated five-year- olds on which echinoderm could flip over the fastest. When I read the brittle star project description, which included the early morning collecting trip, I was smitten by the prospect of a summer adventure. Gordon said he wanted to see what we were made of, and boy did he mean what he said! Not only did our tasks include climbing down a vertical cliff on a rickety wooden ladder with only headlamps to light our way, but we also had to use these headlamps to search among algae holdfasts for brittle stars no bigger than a pencil eraser. My fellow MRAPer, Jessica Denton, and I were quite happy with our findings. . .until Gordon let us know that we had found only one specimen of the elusive species that was to be our summer research project. Plan B was put into action, and Jessica and I began the search for baby Ophiomastix annulosa within the reproductive pouches of adult Ophiocoma scolopendrina. It was so exciting to find a tiny red-spotted arm protruding from slits on a midnight black disk. I was hooked. I continued coming into the museum in my senior year of high school, spending afternoons and days off searching for baby Ophiomastix . Needless to say, brittle stars and marine biology had me so captivated that I have continued working in Gordon’s lab to this very day. I assume every echinoderm biologist has spent a little time studying each group before settling on their animal of choice. Sure Gordon would have loved for me to focus all of my attention on ophiuroids for the rest of my life, but I needed to get out and explore the echinoderm world! So, this past summer I headed to Washington D.C. to work with Dave Pawson as part of the Research Training Program at the National Museum of Natural History. I studied the ecology of deep-sea feather stars, a group of animals I had previously been unfamili ar with. I returned to Los Angeles in good spirits, excited by all the new things I had learned about feather stars and sea cucumbers (after a crash course on their ecology and spicule identification). I have also become excited about deep-sea research, which has shown me new avenues that I never dreamed possible! Echinoderms blow my mind. It’s so amazing how animals that appear to be so simple can have such complex lifestyles, and play just as important a role in the world’s oceans as any other marine organism. No one can say that arm regeneration and starfish stomach feeding habits are not cool! I am now a third- year marine biology major at UCLA, and I plan on enrolling in a Ph.D. program in three years. Provided that nothing else catches my attention (which hasn’t happened yet), I hope to continue studying the ecology of echinoderms in graduate school (and maybe for the rest of my life?? It could happen!). 112 Alexandr Yevdokimov / Vladivostok, Russia I was bom in Vladivostok, Russia November 1 , 1969, graduated Vladivostok Medical University as a physician in 1995. 1 was interested in academic science more then to be a practitioner and spent a lot of time for the intent study of embryology at the Department of Histology and Embryology, Vladivostok Medical University. I studied early ontogenesis and objects of my studying were mainly Strongylocentrotus intermedius and Strongylocentrotus nudus. I continued my research after I graduated Medical University together with colleagues from TINRO-Pacific Research Fishery Center (Vladivostok). We made publication inl996 (Seasonal characteristics of spermatogenesis Strongylocentrotus intermedius ) /Evdokimov V./Yevdokimov A., Russian Research Institute of Fishering Journal, (March. 1996.N1286-px96.) Couple years I was far from studying Echinodermata. Now I am working as Japanese language interpreter (and translator) for a small JointVenture Company (Russia- Japan). We work with Anadara Broughtoni, Spisula Sachalinensis and Carbiculidae. I am interested in reproduction and ecology problems. Our Japanese partners have constant interest in Strongylocentrotus intermedius and Strongylocentrotus nudus . This year I am going to continue my education. It will probably be a post-graduate course in Biology (Echinodermata). I am interested in studying effects of visible light on ontogenesis .1 am presently studying effects of visible light (520 nm and 720 nm) on reproduction and ontogenesis of Strongylocentrotus intermedius and Strongylocentrotus nudus . I will be very thankful if I can get contacts with specialists in Echinodermata and ecologists. dunupi@hotmaIl.com Jacob Dafni / Eilat, Israel It was 1979, when I was looking for a subject for a PhD study. Fifteen years earlier I studied the effect of pollution on an invertebrate community species diversity, in order to assess and suggest using this method to quantify the over-all effect of pollution (without the necessity to determine the level of the individual pollutants). The most polluted site was a shallow UW slope opposite a combined power station with a desalination plant. The pollutants were thermo-haline sea water with frequent occurrence of heavy metals and organophosphates in these waters. This time I was 113 astonished by the sight of hundreds of sea-urchins - up to 2/3 of Tripneustes gratilla population - that were highly deformed - their H/D ratio reached 1.0- 1.5 compared to the normal ratio - 0.55. It was obvious that these pollutants are to blame, but the mechanism was unexplained. I took the challenge and started to record the phenomenon and try to make sense out of this. Later, I found only 2 km from the first site, in an artificial estuary, to which local hotels dumped their wastewater, a second type of deformity - 3/4 of the most affected population of T.g. elatensis (n. ssp.) were flatter (H/D < 0.5), very often with deep concave apex, resting upon Aristotle’s lantern top. Literature survey revealed that such proportions of abnormal tests in sea- urchins were never recorded elsewhere. Prel imin ary observations in the deformed tests suggested that whatever the pollutant was, it twisted a highly symmetrical equilibrium that governs the morphogenesis of echinoid test, which is basically genetic, but I felt that environment -- in the form of external pressure translated through the force applied by the tubefeet and other contractile and elastic tissues - mesenterial threads, collagen fibers etc. - affects the final shape. This study which lasted for 5 years was exhilarating for me: it demonstrated to me the marvelous symmetry of these animals’ morphogenesis. Try to imagine a sea urchin with 4 ambulacra and a lantern made of 5 jaws - obviously pinched at an early stage. What is the regulative forces that are responsible to the highly tetramerous symmetry it shows. I hypothesized that it is done by a biomechanical equilibrium. I gathered much circumstantial evidence, and I also tested D’Arcy Thompson’s (early 20th century) hypothesis that regular echinoids which grow on sand (with less ambulacral pull) tend to be rounder (have a higher H/D ratio) than those living on hard substrate, and lo, - 1 had managed to establish it. I concluded my study by publishing a “Biomechanical Model for the Morphogenesis of the Echinoid Test” with possible implications to its phylogeny, which was hailed by some, others were more sceptic. I fin d it encouraging that some students took the hypothesis and tested the model experimentally. My last echinoderm paper is from 1992 (a comprehensive list of my papers can be found in my web-site www.come.to/jacob-dafm - Come and visit). To make a long story short, I was overwhelmed by the mechanical aspects of these animals’ behavior - that use hydraulic forces to move, an unconventional coordination system to regulate the pull of the tubefeet, and moves to a desired direction - aided by light although they have no eyesight - simultaneously holding firmly in other directions. I was no less inspired by the rare specimens of echinodermologists I have met in conferences - cheerful, friendly, and cooperative. Unfortunately, I was too old at that time to start an echinoderm career, and I have drifted to other fields. Presently, upon my retirement, I am willing to actively take part or otherwise cooperate in ongoing studies that involve Red Sea echinoderms - taxonomy, skeletogenesis, field studies etc. 114 On the Preservation of Buttlestars By Carla J. Bundrick Copyright July 2000 No, that’s not a misprint Okay, so what is it? Go back 56 years, to a man in New York City writing about a time and place he loved and missed. Go back 14 years before that, to 1930 when that same writer, Nobel prize- winning author John Steinbeck, first met Ed Ricketts, a marine biologist in Pacific Grove, California. The meeting was to be the beginning of a life-long friendship between the two men, and one that has been captured for over half a century in Steinbeck’s writings. Though a thinly-disguised Ed Ricketts was to appear in many of Steinbeck’s works (eg. “The Snake” and In Dubious Battle ), the character Ed is most often associated with is that of “Doc” in Cannery Row and Sweet Thursday . The successful publication of Cannery Row in 1945 not only affected Ed’s personal life, but the book’s popularity forever changed the face of Monterey. Years have come and gone, the canneries are but memories along the fog-shrouded shores of Monterey and Pacific Grove. Now the Row is filled with restaurants, clubs and gift shops; tourism has replaced the sardine packing industry with a jingle of money never dreamed of by the two good friends. John and Ed spent several years developing their friendship, John accompanying and assisting Ed in his collecting trips and becoming very well acquainted with the marine organisms that populated the tidepools around Pacific Grove. In fact, Steinbeck’s knowledge of marine biology first began in 1923 when he took classes, along with his younger sister Mary, at Stanford University’s Hopkins Marine Station in Pacific Grove. In 1940 John accompanied Ed to Baja California on a scientific expedition that resulted in publication the following year of the Sea of Cortez, a monumental work of science and philosophy written together by Ricketts and Steinbeck. While making preparations for the trip in 1939, Steinbeck writes in a letter to his agent Elizabeth Otis, “My dream for sometime in the future is a research scope with an oil immersion lens... Oh boy! Oh boy! Sometime I’ll have one. It may interest you to know that business at the lab [Pacific Biological Laboratories] is picking up. I can’t tell you what all this means to me, in happiness and energy. I was washed up and now I’m alive again, with work to be done and worth doing.” John moved to New York in November 1941. His life was busy with writing and he went to Europe to write about the War, but his memories and longings for the days on the California coast with his friends remained with him. As respite from wartime writing, Steinbeck began writing “a funny little book” which was to become Cannery Row . His descriptions of Monterey and Cannery Row, the land and the people, the tidepools and the wonderful life they contained poured out of John with a beauty and sympathy rarely matched in literature today. From his apartment John wrote the manuscript in neat tight handwriting on long pads of “legal” yellow paper. Chapter 5 begins: 115 On the Preservation of Buttiestars “Western Biological deals in strange and beautiful wares. It sells the lovely animals of the sea, the sponges, tunicates, anemones, the stars and buttiestars, and sun stars, the bivalves, barnacles, the worms and shells, the fabulous and multiform little brothers, the living moving flowers of the sea, nudibranchs and tectibranchs, the spiked and nobbd and needly urchins, the crabs and demi-crabs, the little dragons, the snapping shrimps, and ghost shrimps so transparent that they hardly throw a shadow.” But when his small, precise handwritten script was typed, probably by a secretary at Viking Press, many of the marine organisms with strange names came out with “new” spellings. Techtibranchs was typed “tickle branches,” nudibranchs came out “nude branches,” and brittlestars became “buttiestars” (the small r i being seen as the letter u). Today the typescript still exists* with John’s careful editing of the sea animals’ names, but apparently “buttiestars” was overlooked, and the original misspelling wound up in print Not only in print in the original edition of Cannery Row published by Viking Press, but in every English language edition ever printed! Go ahead, drag out your copy and have a look. Marine biologist Joel Hedgpeth, with whom I had corresponded about this interesting matter in 1982 responded, “Buttiestars indeed. I had never noticed, or if I had, let it pass by. It’s in all editions, the error, and sticks out firmly in the large type edition for the hard of seeing. I also happen to have a copy of the English edition (Heinemann), which is completely reset and note that it is buttiestars there as well.” What is stranger still is that Ed Rickett’s biographer, Richard Astro, chose this same passage to quote in his work John Steinbeck and Edward F. Ricketts: The Shaping of a Novelist (1973), and copied the paragraph and its error, buttiestars and all, into his book. So now it has been preserved in yet another generation of literature. Will the awesome brittiestar ever regain its literary self-respect? Will Viking Press see the error of their ways? Thankfully, Sweet Thursday contains the following description, but with accurate spelling, proving again that John Steinbeck took an abiding interest in and had a real love for what Ed Ricketts called “the good kind and sane little animals.” “Doc got back from his collecting about four-thirty... and submerged in sea water in his collecting buckets were hundreds of brittlestars. He moved the brittlestars to a large, flat-bottomed glass dish and poured some sea water on top of them. The little animals with the snakelike aims whipped about for a moment and then settled down. When they were quite still and resting Doc added a little fresh water to the dish. The aims stirred nervously. He waited awhile and then added a little more fresh water. To a sea animal, fresh water is a poison, and if it is slowly introduced it is as subtle as moiphine. It relaxes and soothes until the little creature goes to sleep and dies without violence.” ♦In the Steinbeck collections at Stanford University. 116 ☆☆☆☆☆ SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION ☆☆☆☆☆ RESEARCH TRAINING INTERN PROGRAM SUMMER 2000 My Summer working with Dave Pawson Let me begin by saying that I have been blessed with the two most amazing mentors in the world: Gordon Hendler and Dave Pawson. This summer I worked with Dave for the first time, and the rest is history. On March 9, 2000 I received 'good and bad news'. Later I realized it was all good news. The director of the Research Training Program at the Smithsonian Natural History Museum told me that I had been accepted into the program, but the 'bad news' was that I would be working with Dave Pawson. She said this, not because Dave is a mean overbearing ogre, but because he was not my top choice advisor. I had decided to apply to work with whales, stretch my wings a little bit and try out the world of marine vertebrates. Clearly my summer at the Smithsonian was not meant to throw me off of the path of invertebrate research, but to make me more excited about it. This summer I worked on the ecology of deep-sea feather stars from the Bahama Islands. I spent many hours watching video taken from the Johnson-Sea-Link submersible: giggling at Porter Kier's excitement over swimming crinoids, and absorbing as much information as possible about deep-sea echinoderms like an avid Discovery Channel watcher. I also examined specimens of feather stars that were collected upon the dives, and are now housed in the Smithsonian's collection. Finally I compiled summaries on the feeding behaviors and habitat preferences of each species of feather star. At the end of the ten weeks, I presented my findings orally and in a poster to the Smithsonian community. My experience at the Smithsonian was one of the best experiences of my life. I learned about feather stars, a neat group I had been previously unfamiliar with. I was also made aware of the exciting possibilities of deep-sea research, an avenue I hope to explore in the future. Best of all, I got to work with Dave Pawson. He gave me advice and guidance that I know will be useful for years to come. I can’t forget to mention all the good laughs we had... magnifying headgear can really do wonders for one's looks! Finally, the Smithsonian has the best group of researchers in the world. Not only are they the best in their fields, but they are also the friendliest. I will never forget this summer.

Pawson Maureen E. Downey, an authority on sea stars, died on May 14, 2000 at the age of 79. She was bom in Washington D.C., and she attended George Washington University. In the 1940's she worked for a short time at the Duke University Marine Laboratory in Beaufort, North Carolina, where she first developed a rapport with the echinoderms. She returned to the Washington area, and spent approximately ten years with the Central Intelligence Agency and then the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, before joining the National Museum of Natural History (NMNH), Smithsonian Institution, in 1957. At first she was a Secretary, then she became involved with the echinoderm collections as a Museum Technician, ultimately becoming a Museum Specialist, continuing her work with the collections and undertaking research on the sea stars. Maureen had an abiding love of the NMNH - and of the people in it. As a young girl she would bring insects in to the NMNH entomologists for identification. Little did she know then that her fascination with museums would lead her later to a 30-year career as a museum specialist. Her dedication to the echinoderms was deeply felt, and clearly evident. Even her costume jewelry was “echinodermatological”. She worked long hours during the week, and then would come in to the museum regularly on Saturdays and Sundays to continue her research. The sea stars were her favorites, and she would only occasionally venture into other groups, such as the brittlestars. She and I conspired to found the Echinoderms Newsletter in 1967, and we jointly organized the first International Echinoderms Conference, held here at the NMNH in 1972. The Newsletter has come a long way in the intervening 30 years - back in the old days we would run off 700 copies of each page on an unreliable mimeograph machine, and then collate the newsletters by hand - a tedious operation that would take a few days. And the Echinoderm Conferences have come a long way also - in 1972 the registration fee for the Conference was $2.00! Over many years she would visit friends in the Pacific Northwest, especially in Puget Sound, and she spent many happy days and weeks on San Juan Island, site of the University of Washington’s Friday Harbor Laboratories. Around 1970 she formulated a plan - to build a home on San Juan Island, and to live there when she retired. She first bought a piece of land, then gradually worked towards construction of her “home-in-the woods”. During the 1980's, as her retirement approached, she was impatient to move to her small northwest paradise, and she often fretted over the fact that the people who were renting and living in her San Juan Island house were enjoying it while she was stuck here in Washington where it was always too hot - or too cold. On her retirement, Maureen moved immediately to San Juan Island, and lived there until her death. She was always ready to welcome visitors at San Juan Island, and several of us from this museum stayed with her at various times over the years. We saw her back in Washington just once, around 1989 - a feteful visit, because while here she fell and broke her hip, and spent several days in the hospital after reconstructive surgery. For the remaining ten years of her life Maureen had difficulty in walking, and this surely hampered her plans to continue with some of her sea star studies at the Friday Harbor Laboratories. She had a sharp sense of humor, enjoyed a joke, and enjoyed sharing humorous experiences 120 with her many friends. Maureen was very outspoken; you always knew where you stood with her! She was friendly, hospitable, gregarious, and generous with her time, and she enjoyed meeting visiting scientists and helping them in the collections. In 1964, when I arrived at NMNH as a new curator, Maureen was very kind to me, and made me feel very welcome. She had an abiding interest in arts and crafts, and she numbered among her friends in Washington many prominent local painters, weavers, potters, and sculptors; she acquired several of their works. Of her research on asteroids and other echinoderms, it can be said that it was extensive, and very valuable. She named numerous new taxa of asteroids, and produced comprehensive larger works on asteroids of the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico, and Atlantic brisingid asteroids. One new species described by Maureen, Midgardia xandaros claimed the title of the ‘The World’s Biggest Starfish’ in the Guinness Book of World Records. The crowning achievement of her career was the 1992 work with Ailsa Clark on starfishes of the Atlantic. Ailsa and Maureen labored mightily and long for many years on that wonderful monograph, and it became an instant classic upon its publication. Finally, Maureen spent much of her time over several years rearranging the echinoderm collection, and making it more accessible. Her work with our very numerous type specimens resulted in the publication of two comprehensive catalogs of types of echinoids and ophiuroids in major North American collections. Maureen Downey was an impressive and memorable lady, and we were indeed fortunate to have her here at the NMNH during an exciting period in echinoderm research and curation.

'3 Advanced Workshop in Honour of Eizo Nakano: Sea Urchin Aquaculture Communicated by Yukio Yokota IMC - International Marine Centre November, 2000 Scope: The aim of the workshop is to introduce the modem concept of resource management of sea urchin stock and to transfer advanced techniques and know-how in the sea urchin aquaculture. For this purpose. 140 specialists in Hie field of sea urchin biology/aquaculture are invited from Europe, USA and Japan as lecturers. The workshop offers participants both theoretical and practical lessons. Fifteen lectures are invited for the understanding of the biological background and resource management of sea urchin stock. The practical course will be held with a number of teaching assistants for the acquisition of advanced techniques in sea urchin aquaculture. This workshop is dedicated to the memory of Eizo Nakano who died in October 1999. He was always at the cutting edge of the field of sea urchins biology and organised many international workshops as a founder of the IMC.
