  2529 
  tablets.^ 
  This 
  primary 
  collection 
  was 
  deposited 
  in 
  the 
  British 
  Museum 
  (Na- 
  

   tural 
  History). 
  Drawings 
  were 
  made 
  of 
  the 
  specimens 
  of 
  the 
  species 
  described 
  

   in 
  the 
  catalogue. 
  A 
  set 
  of 
  these 
  drawings 
  is 
  in 
  the 
  United 
  States 
  National 
  Mu- 
  

   seum, 
  but 
  no 
  complete 
  set 
  of 
  illustrations 
  of 
  the 
  Catalogue 
  was 
  ever 
  printed. 
  

  

  The 
  first 
  duplicate 
  series 
  of 
  shells 
  (6584 
  specimens) 
  and 
  pictures 
  of 
  Mazatlan 
  

   material 
  were 
  brought 
  to 
  America 
  by 
  Carpenter 
  and 
  deposited 
  in 
  the 
  New 
  York 
  

   State 
  Cabinet 
  of 
  Natural 
  History 
  (Museum). 
  (See 
  Palmer, 
  1951.) 
  The 
  Redpath 
  

   Museum 
  has 
  a 
  large 
  and 
  partially 
  mounted 
  series. 
  Other 
  museums 
  have 
  dupli- 
  

   cates 
  from 
  the 
  Reigen 
  collection 
  through 
  distribution 
  by 
  Carpenter. 
  

  

  Illustrations 
  of 
  the

  species 
  described

  Carpenter

   are 
  not 
  included 
  in 
  this 
  report. 
  The 
  figuring 
  of 
  the 
  already

  catalogue 
  

   would 
  constitute 
  a 
  separate 
  major 
  work.

  British 
  Museum 
  (Natural 
  History) 
  .—Although 
  never 
  in 
  residence 
  at 
  the 
  

   British 
  Museum, 
  Philip 
  Carpenter 
  began 
  his 
  scientific 
  career 
  under 
  the 
  inspira- 
  

   tion 
  of 
  Dr. 
  J. 
  E. 
  (Iray, 
  Keeper 
  of 
  Mollusca 
  of 
  that 
  institution. 
  Through 
  Gray's 
  

   influence 
  the 
  first 
  set 
  of 
  the 
  Reigen 
  Mazatlan 
  collection 
  was 
  presented 
  to 
  the 
  

   British 
  Museum. 
  In 
  consequence 
  of 
  this, 
  Carpenter 
  was 
  asked 
  to 
  write 
  the 
  cata- 
  

   logue 
  of 
  that 
  collection 
  in 
  the 
  British 
  Museum 
  (1857b). 
  Friendly 
  and 
  mutually 
  

   profitable 
  relations 
  continued 
  through 
  Carpenter's 
  life 
  not 
  only 
  with 
  the 
  Museum 
  

   but 
  with 
  the 
  eminent 
  conchologists 
  of 
  his 
  day. 
  He 
  received 
  advice, 
  help, 
  and 
  un- 
  

   restricted 
  use 
  of 
  collections 
  and 
  library 
  from

  G. 
  B. 
  

   Sowerby, 
  and 
  F. 
  Archer. 
  Labels 
  in 
  his 
  collection 
  testify 
  to 
  the 
  associations 
  he 
  

   established 
  and 
  to 
  the 
  confidence 
  he 
  inspired.

  the 
  Report

   Association 
  for 
  Advancement 
  of 
  Science 
  for 
  1856 
  (1857a, 
  p. 
  208-213) 
  Carpenter 
  

   listed 
  the 
  dates, 
  the 
  ships 
  used, 
  the 
  localities 
  visited 
  and 
  the 
  species 
  described 
  and 
  

   determined 
  by 
  Dr. 
  A. 
  A. 
  Gould. 
  Again 
  in 
  1863 
  (1864b, 
  p. 
  529-532, 
  578, 
  582, 
  

   583). 
  in 
  a 
  report 
  to 
  the 
  same 
  body 
  of 
  British 
  scientists, 
  he 
  enumerated 
  from 
  first- 
  

   hand 
  information 
  the 
  trials 
  connected 
  with 
  the 
  making 
  of 
  the 
  Gould 
  collections. 
  

   At 
  the 
  request 
  of 
  Joseph 
  Henry, 
  secretary 
  of 
  the 
  Smithsonian 
  Institution, 
  Car- 
  

   penter 
  was 
  employed 
  in 
  1859 
  to 
  arrange 
  the 
  .shell 
  material 
  of 
  the 
  above 
  expedi- 
  

   tions. 
  Previously 
  Gould 
  had. 
  as 
  Carpenter 
  acknowledged 
  in 
  the 
  Mazatlan 
  Cata- 
  

   logue 
  ('1857a, 
  p. 
  iv.

  ". 
  . 
  . 
  intrusted 
  to 
  my 
  care, 
  and 
  to 
  the 
  perils 
  of 
  the 
  

   Atlantic, 
  the 
  whole 
  of 
  his 
  collections 
  and 
  notes 
  from 
  W. 
  American 
  coast, 
  for 
  

   comparison 
  with 
  those 
  known 
  in 
  this 
  country." 
  Gould's 
  and 
  Carpenter's 
  names 
  

   were 
  linked 
  in 
  joint 
  authorship 
  in 
  1856 
  (Gould 
  and 
  Carpenter, 
  1856, 
  p. 
  198- 
  

   208). 
  

  

  « 
  Tablets 
  containing 
  a 
  numbered 
  suite 
  of 
  shells 
  are 
  recorded 
  in 
  sequence 
  in 
  the 
  published 
  

   catalogue. 
  Hence, 
  a 
  collection 
  so 
  mounted 
  and 
  numbered 
  can 
  lie 
  tied 
  in 
  definitely 
  with 
  the 
  

   published 
  notes.
