Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

EXAMPLE
R. P. Stanley, Enumerative Combinatorics, Cambridge, Vol. 1, Chap. 3, page 98, Fig. 3-1 (or 2nd. ed., Fig. 3.1, p. 243) shows the unlabeled posets with <= 4 points.
From Gus Wiseman, Aug 14 2019: (Start)
Also the number of unlabeled T_0 topologies with n points. For example, non-isomorphic representatives of the a(4) = 16 topologies are:
