Concerning A007123.

I forgot to mention the _combinatorial interpretation_
for this Cat(n)+binomial(n,floor(n/2)))/2 suspected for A007123:
Dyck paths, general (rooted) plane trees and general
parenthesizations (and other denizens of the Catalania
in various disguises), upto the reflection.

(Note that A007595 is the plane _binary_ trees
(and their other incarnation: polygon triangulations)
upto the reflection.)

So, is there a combinatorial map between these
and with the objects given on current name-line below?
Working from the bracelets through the mapping explained
in A003239 sniffs promising. 

-- Same
