Japanese animal specimens collected by Dr L. Doderlein during his stay in Japan for two years from 1879 were discovered in some European museums. Selected Japanese taxonomists have investigated this Doderlein Collection for three years from 2000 and gave astounding results as follows :
1. One hundred twenty five Japanese vertebrate specimens including 39 types were newly discovered from several European museums.
2. Seven galatheid crustacean specimens were discovered from Musee Zoologique, Strasbourg. Among these, three are redy to be described based on their type materials.
3. Forty-three soft coral specimens deposited in the Humboldt University Museum included two specimens collected by Doderlein.
4. Doderlein collected 37 species of echinoderms from Japan. These are one sea lily, eight sea stars, five bristle stars and 23 sea urchins.
5. A total of 391 specimens in 180 species were deposited in the Vienna Natural History Museum. Among these, 88 specimens in 32 species are types.
6. Four specimens in three species of echinoderms, all types, were discovered from the Geneva Museum, Switzerland.
