118-121. A starfish, Pisaster ochraceoiis. turned 

 on its back, rights itself by twisting its arms and 

 pulling with hundreds of vacuum-cupped feet. 

 This is the common starfish of surf-beaten rocks 

 on the American Pacific coast. Specimens range 

 from 6 to 14 inches across and occur in several 

 color phases. (Oregon. Ralph Buchsbaum)
