A095268 Graphical Partitions - Extend?

With respect to A095268.

First, I don't think these should be called "graphical partitions".
If they are partitions, then they should all add up to the same value,
which they don't.  They should be called "degree sequences".
This terminology problem seems to occur elsewhere; e.g., A004251.

If someone is keen to have some numbers quickly, then the
algorithm in http://www.cs.uvic.ca/~ruskey/Publications/AlleyCat.html
is very fast (it generates the sequences themselves, so you need to
add a counter and suppress the output).  You 
also need to modify the program to filter
out the sequences have a 0 (eliminates the isolated vertices).
Unfortunately, I have no time to
pursue this myself anytime soon.
