He also wrote many important publications including the nine-part Catalogue of the marine shells of Victoria (written with GB Pritchard). From 1907 he teamed up with Charles Gabriel and over the next twenty-three years they regularly updated the catalogue, published twenty-seven papers and described forty-five new taxa.
