 note = {Thomas Albert GLOVER (1870-1945), better known as Tomisaburo KURABA, was born as a son of a Scottish trader Thomas Blake GLOVER and a Japanese woman Maki KAGA in Nagasaki. Although he was educated at Japanese schools as a Japanese, he studied biology in Medical College of Pennsylvania University in 1890-1892. He introduced steam trawlers to Japan for the first time from England in 1908.
The most famous among Tomisaburo's work is the atlas of "Fishes of Southern & Western Japan" consisting of 800 color plates which were painted by five artists residing in Nagasaki during the years from 1912 to 1936. All the specimens for the pictures were collected by Tomisaburo himself. The scientific name and Japanese vernacular name(s) together with the initial of the artist and work number have been written in pencil on each of the plates. Tomisaburo arranged the plates in systematic order and had them bound into 32 volumes (or groups as he named). This original set is now preserved at the Library of Nagasaki University.
An annotated edition of "Glover s Atlas" in five volumes was published by the Faculty of Fisheries, Nagasaki University in 1973-1976.
Tomisaburo's collection of literature on fishes and other marine animals, probably a part of it, was also donated to the University Library in 1953 via a route different from the Atlas. The collection consists of 231 pieces of books, journals, and reprints of papers, many of which have marginal notes written on pages by Tomisaburo, including accession dates.
The present article gives an annotated list of literature in the collection and explains how the collection has become the possession of the University Library. Inference was also made concerning how Tomisaburo could have identified and properly arranged the fishes in his Atlas., 平成7年度教育研究学内特別研究報告書, 長崎大学所蔵貴重資料, pp.217-269; 1996},
