IV.—Description of a New Species of Starfish from the Devonian of Great Inglebourne, Harberton, South Devon

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  04 June 2018

Probably no part of England has received more careful attention from geologists than Devonshire, both North and South, but although the lists of fossils are large, the fossils themselves are often very difficult to determine, owing to the cleavage and metamorphism to which the rocks containing them have been subjected.
