Book Description
Excerpt from The Alcyonaria of the Western Part of the Atlantic Ocean As far back as the Annual Report for 1898 - 1899 this Museum announced as in preparation a report by Prof. A. E. Verrill on the Blake Alcyonarians. Work on this report progressed steadily at Yale University, and pertinent specimens from this collection were sent to New Haven from time to time. The report began to assume larger and larger proportions because Prof. Verrill apparently planned a monographic treatment, to include a review of most of the described forms from the entire world. Prof. Verrill died in 1927, and the writers assumed responsibility for the publications of the Museum in November of the same year. We found a manu script oi tremendous length, with a very large number of proposed new species, and a long series of heliotype and some colored plates illustrating these new forms. A very brief inspection of the manuscript showed that he must have quit working on it prior to 1911, as all references to literature ceased after 1910, and it was at once Obvious that the manuscript was seriously out of date. More over, in many cases the types of proposed new species and other material cited proved to be missing from the museum's collections. Needless to state, the services of a specialist were absolutely essential in such a state of affairs. Miss Elisabeth Deichmann was given a Fellowship early in 1928 to make an attempt to collate the manuscript, plates and type specimens upon which Dr. Verrill based his report No one untrained in methods of marine zoological taxonomy would be competent to undertake this herculean task, for both the manuscript and collection are at present in sad confusion. Whether it will ever be worth while to publish this report re mains to be seen (extract from Director's report for 1927 - 28, p.

Cold-water coral ecosystems figure the formation of large seabed structures such as reefs and giant carbonate mounds; they represent unexplored paleo-environmental archives of earth history. Like their tropical cousins, cold-water coral ecosystems harbour rich species diversity. For this volume, key institutions in cold-water coral research have contributed 62 state-of-the-art articles on topics from geology and oceanography to biology and conservation, with some impressive underwater images.
