Remarks.

Eduard von Martens (1831-1904) was curator of molluscs at the Berlin museum and took part in the 1860 ‘Thetis’ [or Eulenburg] Expedition to the Far East which included a port of call at Yokohama. Franz Hilgendorf (1839-1904) was another Berlin curator (for fish and crustaceans) and a pioneer of zoological research in Japan. He was active here from 1873-1876 as a lecturer at the Imperial Medical Academy in Tokyo. Details about the third collector (Brauns) were not available.
