We have this as an e-book from Wiley/AGU, however the volume numbers don't match up. The title you gave me corresponds to volume 71 of the series. Volume 69 has a different title, "Antarctic and Subantarctic Pycnogonida: Nymphonidae, Colossendeidae, Rhynchothoraxidae, Pycnogonidae, Endeididae, and Callipallenidae." It consists only of PDFs of book chapters.
Does the table of contents to the book refer to any data? My PDF TOC doesn't mention data. If yours does, I'm irked that the ebook version doesn't seem to have any or makes it exceptionally difficult to discover.

Subject: CD accompanying AGU Antarctic Research Series vol.68
Dear all,
I am hoping someone can help me with a most unusual (I hope!) problem.
We have been working thorough digital preservation of our mapping publications on CD and DVD, and have come to this one:
AGU Antarctica Research series vol.69
Geology and seismic stratigraphy of the Antarctic margin
ISBN 0875908845
our catalogue record is here: https://catalogue.nla.gov.au/Record/2607902<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__catalogue.nla.gov.au_Record_2607902&d=DwMFAw&c=nE__W8dFE-shTxStwXtp0A&r=77-47ZJQbukZ-e0xX_dd1Q&m=PU0Md1_A9BEtYDaDibMl6PgTnEFYUo6ACUG7ZKqlQOI&s=8NcBU-OhiAg852YnHRuvIhV3s32vfOervKSqvXFT44g&e=>
The item consists of a book, some maps in a case, and 2 CDs with maps data and viewing software.
It was published in 1995, but I don't think anyone has ever requested it to use in the reading rooms.
Our CDs look legit (they are printed with a map of Antarctica and the correct bibliographical info), and all the files all have creation dates of 1993-1995
The top level contents of disc 1 are 2 folders and 6 files as follows:
files:
director.ini created 29/07/1994
eeumv2.dxr created 19/10/1994
eeumv2.exe created 18/10/1994
fileio.dll created 29/07/1994
lingo.ini created 4/11/1994
readmw.wri created 16/10/1994
folders:
EEM2_GIF created 12/11/1994 (containing 250 gif files created 30/09/1994, named 10A.gif through 64H.gif)
GIF_VIEW created 12/11/1994 (containing a variety of .exe, .dll, .del, .dil, .hlp and .vbx fils)
My problem is this: the 250 gif files in EEM2_GIF are all semi-pornographic images.
Can anyone tell me if their copy of disc 1 of this publication also contains a folder of pictures of naked ladies?
As this appears to be genuine publication disc, how should we handle this in terms of cataloguing, digital preservation and public requests for the item? From a philosophic angle, for us as a national library, it raises some interesting questions to say the least!
So: does anyone else have the same problem with their disc, and how have you handled this?
Thank you for any advice!
