He studied, together with Wilhelm Dunker, the "Museum Gruneri", a large collection of species in the bivalve family Pteriidae. This study was published as Verzeichniß der Conchyliensammlung des verstorbenen Herrn Consul Gruner, welche im Ganzen verkauft werden soll von Bunsen Hausschild 1857. Bremer Druck 1857.[5]
