FIQ. 2. Typical distribution patterns of some wide-ranging invertebrates essentially
confined to the Antarctic Region (data from Pawson, 1969b, Fell, Holtzinger and
Sherraden, 1969, Squires, 1969, Kott, 1969b, Dell, 1969, Hedgpeth, 196913 and
Dearborn and Rommel, 1969). 0 Sterechinw, neumayeri;
OphiaCantha antarctics; A ffardineria anlarctica; A Pyura diawveryi; V Laternula elliptica;
0 Megalonyx mbusta;
Promachacrinus lcerguelensw.
Of the 800 specimens of asteroids collected on the BANZAR Expedition,
412 belonged to Odontaster validus (Clark, 1962).
Another obvious characteristic is the high percentage of forms which
exhibit viviparity or brood protection in one form or another.
