A small species of the seastar genus Henricia Gray, 1840 occurs along the cool temperate Pacific coast of North America from near Sitka, Alaska to just south of Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico. Its small adult size, mottled aboral colors, and benthic external brooding reproductive mode have long been noted, but it has never been formally separated from the larger, free-spawning Henricia leviuscula (Stimpson, 1857), with which it has been confused. Here we amplify the description of H. leviuscula, based on examination of the holotype and new specimens, and restrict it to only one of several similar species that co-occur in Puget Sound and vicinity. We also describe the small mottled brooder as Henricia pumila sp. nov., characterize its distribution, and contrast its morphology with H. leviuscula based on the arrangement of marginal plates and the microanatomy of aboral spines.

Over 18,000 people were killed or went missing in Tohoku district Pacific coast communities during the March 11, 2011, Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Disaster. The author proposes a victimindex, a simple index to evaluate tsunami evacuation potential, for comprehensively evaluating the ease of evacuation and the evacuation capability of residents in communities based on field research data, and determined the index values for 13 villages of Yamada town, Iwate prefecture. Whether the index values matched regional features was analyzed using interview survey data on evacuation actions of residents by the Joint Survey Group on Tsunami Evacuation during the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Disaster (team for Yamada and Ishinomaki) (Appendix A). As a result, under some restrictions, the difference in features related to the evacuation capability of affected communities could be explained well using the victim index. This index is applicable to compare damaged factors among the communities and allows for the objective analysis of damage potential of each community.
