found ‘‘ Stray Notes on some of the smaller Crustaceans,” by 
Edward; he also sent many articles to ‘The Zoologist’ on 
various subjects from time to time. Edward also completed 
“The Birds of Strathbeg,’”’ which appeared in the ‘ Naturalist’ 
at the instigation of his friend Mr. Boyd. Several new species 
found by Edward have, in honour to the great naturalist, been 
named after him. 
On the 5th of April, 1866, Edward was unanimously elected 
an Associate of the Linnean Society, at the suggestion of Mr. 
Couch and Mr. Spence Bate, as an appreciation of the great help 
he had given them. Soon after Edward was made a member of 
the Aberdeen Natural History Society, and the following year he 
was presented with a diploma of the Glasgow Natural History 
Society. 
He died on the 27th of April, 1886, in the seventy-second 
year of his age.
