1837. Cuvier's 'Regne Animal/ Commemorative Edition, illustrated by his pupils. 



Among the plates of this beautiful work are thirteen representing MedusEe. Eight of 

 these are devoted to undoubted steganopthalmatous species. The following naked-eyed 

 forms, or else doubtful, are copied from the unpublished plates of Peron : 



Phorcynia istiophora ; Eulimenes cyclophylla ; Equorea purpurea ; Lymnorea tricedra (covered- 

 eyed?); Favonia hexamena ; Geryonia hexaphylla {Dianwa proboscidalis?) ; Berenix cariso- 

 chroma, B. euchroma (this genus seems to have affinities with WlHsia, but the structure of the 

 peduncle and ovaries is not indicated in the drawing); Geryonia dinema (possibly 

 belonging to a genus of the Sarsiadoe, as well as Orythia viridis) ; Orythia minima (this 

 appears to be an immature Cyanma) ; Eudora undulosa (steganopthalmatous ?) ; Carybdea 

 periphylla (surely not of this genus, and possibly steganopthalmatous). 



Figures are also given of Geryonia bicolor, copied from Eschscholtz ; G. Dubautii {balearica) 

 [possibly an Orythia}, after Quoy and Gaimard; G. tetraphylla, aitev Chamisso and 

 Eysenhardt ; Carybdea marsupialis, and jEquorea violacea, after Milne Edwards. 



1837. Lesson. ' Prodrome d'une Monographic des Meduses.^ 

 I have never seen this work. Was it ever printed ? 



1837. Ehrenberg, in the ' Transactions of the Berlin Academy,' for the year 1835, vol. viii, gives 



two good figures of naked-eyed Medusse, the one " Oceania pileata," and the other 

 " Melicertum campanulatum" (really Stomobrachium octocostatum), both from Norway, 

 and already noticed in the account of our native species of the genera to which they 

 belong. 



In the same paper there is a catalogue of the Medusae of the Red Sea, but aU the species 

 enumerated are steganopthalmatous. 



1838. J. P. Brandt. " Ausfiihrliche Beschreibung der von C. H. Mertens auf seiner Weltumsegelung 



beobachteten S chirm quallen, nebst allgemeinen Bemerkungen iiber die Schirmquallen 

 iiberhaupt,'' with 34 coloured plates, in the ' Memoirs of the Imperial Academy of St. 

 Petersburg,' 6th series, ' Sciences Naturelles,' 2d vol. 



One of the most valuable and beautifully illustrated memoirs upon the Medusae extant. 

 The naked-eyed species figured in it are Circe Camtscatica, Conis mitrata {a Turris"^), 

 JEquorea rhodolema, Stomobrachium lenticulare, Mesonema macrodactyla, carulescens and 

 dubium, ^ginopsis Laurentii, (if the Polyenia Alderi of this work prove not to belong to that 

 genus to which I have referred it, jEginopsis may prove its proper place,) Geryonia 

 hexaphylla, Proboscidactyla flavicirrhata (a genus of Willsiadce), Hippocrene Bougainvillii, 

 and (?) Staurophora Mertensii. The figures are from the drawings of Mertens, and bear 

 every mark of being faithful representations. The remaining species are Steganopthalmata, 

 and are by far the best figures hitherto published of Medusae of that order. 



1840. The second edition of Lamarck's ' Animaux sans Vert^bres,' edited by Deshayes and Milne 



Edwards. 



The Medusae are contained in the third volume of this edition, and have been revised by 

 M. P. Dujardin. The additional notes are very good, and serve to make the work a 

 useful manual, as they embody the labours of recent writers, especially Eschscholtz and 

 Brandt. 



1841. Milne Edwards described and figured with admirable accuracy the Equorea violacea, in the 16th 



volume of the second series of the ' Annales des Sciences Naturelles.' 



1841. Augustus A. Gould, M.D. 'Report on the Invertebrata of Massachusetts,' Cambridge, 



U. S., 8vo. 



Three species of naked-eyed Medusae are enumerated as inhabiting the shores of the 



United States, viz., " Oceania tubulosa" (i.e. Sarsia tubulosa), " Hippocrene Bougainvillii" 



(more probably Bougainvillea britannica), and "Stomobrachium lenticulare:" the two latter 



identified with Brandt's species of those names.
