Title: THE FAUNA OF AKKESHI BAY : XVIII. ASCIDIA : Contribution to Japanese Ascidian Fauna. III (With 16 text-figures and Plates I and II)
Authors: Tokioka, Takasi
Abstract: Here I deal with ascidians collected by Dr: S. Okuda of the Akkeshi Marine Biological Station of the Hokkaido University in the neighbourhood of Akkeshi Bay, Hokkaido. The specimens are preserved in formalin, and comprise 17 species, of which 4 seem to be new to science. The presence of some species belonging to the genera Ferophora, Botryllus and Botrylloides among these specimens shows us an undeniable effect of the warm current along the south-eastern coast of Hokkaido. Before going further, I want to express my hearty thanks to Dr. S. Okuda for his kindness in giving me a chance to examine the material and to Prof. T. Kornai, under whose kind guidance this study has been carried out. I also record my indebtedness to the Ministry of Education for the financial aid for pursuing the present investigation.1951-02-28T15:00:00ZTokioka, TakasiHere I deal with ascidians collected by Dr: S.
