Soon after his return to Europe (1860) Bleeker commenced to collect the final results of his labours in a grand work, illustrated by coloured plates, _Atlas ichthyologique des Indes Orientales Néerlandaises_ (Amsterd., fol., 1862), the publication of which was interrupted by the author's death in 1878.
