Hello to all. I am a little late with my reply, but thought it would be
interesting, none the less.
  From an abstract:
 "From 1964 to 1975, the writers collaborated in a large-scale investigation
of the macro-fauna of the tropical Atlantic Ocean from West Africa to the
Caribbean and the Gulf of Panama in the eastern tropical Pacific. Support was
obtained from the National Geographic Society and the National Science
Foundation and the work was conducted mainly on board the University of
Miami's research vessels Gerda and John Elliott Pillsbury. Work in 1964 and
1965 was undertaken mostly in West African waters and the Straits of Florida
but, since 1966, studies were conducted in tropical Atlantic waters from
Surinam to the Bahamas. R/V Gerda occupied 1,348 stations, mostly in the
Straits of Florida, but her operations extended to Arrowsmith Bank and the
southern Bahamas. R/V Pillsbury occupied 1,132 stations, ceasing operations
in 1971 when she was retired from the fleet. From 1972 through 1975 cruises
were made aboard the R/V James M. Gilliss and consisted of 134 stations. The
Pillsbury and gilliss stations were located every 15-30 miles apart around
the circumference of the Caribbean and northeastern South America from the
intertidal to a depth of 8,650 meters in the Puerto Rico Trench, where 31
stations were made, mostly with 12.5 m otter trawls. The collections obtained
were sorted and are maintained at the University of Miami with data.
  Including its inaugural cruise in June 1972, the R/V Columbus Iselin has
made 10 cruises and 442 stations associated with macrobiological studies."
 The authors were Gilbert L. Voss, C. Richard Robins and Jon C. Staiger.

Being fortunate enough to see this collection, I believe it is the most
comprehensive wet collection of Florida/Caribbean-Western Atlantic specimens
in existence and an impressive dry collection too.
