Abstract: John B. Henderson Jr.’s dredging expeditions off the Florida Keys, between 1910 and
1916, resulted in the most important and most extensive collection to date of benthic marine mollusks
from the southeastern United States. The annual cruises aboard his private motor yacht Eolis,
accompanied by malacologists Paul Bartsch, George Hubbard Clapp, and Charles Torrey Simpson,
sampled extensively in various water depths from Miami to the Dry Tortugas, the westernmost
extension of the Florida Keys island chain. Henderson deposited tens of thousands of specimen series
in the collection of the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of Natural History (NMNH) that
are the basis of numerous malacological studies and were included in systematic papers by Dall,
Bartsch, Henderson, Simpson, Pérez Farfante, Abbott, Boss, and many others. No cruise description
or station lists have been published to date; previous authors relied on unpublished Eolis “station lists”
on file in the NMNH Department of Invertebrate Zoology. A manuscript now in press in American
Malacological Bulletin provides for the first time a review of Henderson’s original handwritten ship
logs, now maintained in the Smithsonian Institution Archives. Based on this and other available
Published in American Malacological Bulletin, Vol. 17(1/2) (“2002”): 125-140 [February 2003]. This Supplement also

sources, it reconstructs, and corrects prior data about the Eolis cruises while providing insight into
collecting conditions during the early 20th century. Most notably, it shows that the Smithsonian Eolis
station numbers reflect a sequence of specimen donations and accessions, rather than mirroring the
actual cruise events either by sample number or date.
This supplement comprises two appendices to that work:
Eolis Cruise Summaries – a day-by-day summary, derived from Henderson’s handwritten Eolis logs,
focusing on cruise locations and collecting events
Revised Tag Numbers – the Smithsonian Institution (USNM, Mollusk Collection) Henderson
station/tag number list (reflecting combined and individual collections from
the cruises of the Eolis, Tomas Barrera, Eolis Junior, as well as other
collecting events), as revised according to information uncovered by study of
the ships logs

Eolis Cruise Summaries -- a day-by-day summary, derived from Henderson’s handwritten Eolis
logs, focusing on cruise locations and collecting events
Note: “Bag” numbers were assigned and entered into the log by Henderson after the sample was
processed, usually a day or two after collection; they are entered here with the collection to which they
refer. ft = feet [0.3 m], fms = fathoms [6 ft], mi = mile [1 nautical mile = 1.85 km].

[Note: In May of 1910, without Henderson on board, the Eolis proceeded north (with the ship’s log
kept by Sidney Greenlaw). Mitchell and Greenlaw collected at various stations in northeastern Florida,
Georgia, and the Carolinas and reached Norfolk, Virginia, on May 21. June and July of 1910 saw a
cruise from Washington, DC, to Bar Harbor, Maine, with various dredge stations and a new beam
trawl “copied from Blake report.” In August and September, a cruise to Eastport, Maine, followed,
without indication of dredging activities in the ship’s log. In October and November 1910, the Eolis
went to Cape Lookout, Beaufort, North Carolina, conducting extensive collecting on the beaches,
employing hand dredges, and undertaking dredge hauls in various depths.]
