282 Edward’s Discoveries. [CHAP. Xv. 
of the first species, which was called Protomedeta hirsuti- 
mana. In the second case, the entire crustacean was obtain- 
ed, of which Mr. Bate made a drawing and description, and 
he named it Protomedeia Whitei, “‘in compliment to Mr. 
Adam White, author of a popular history of the British 
crustacea.” Only a single specimen of the Cratippus te- 
nuipes was sent him by Mr. Edward, who knew nothing 
of its habits. Mr. Bate also stated that he “had only seen 
three specimens of the Phoxus fusticaudatus, which were dis- 
covered by his valued correspondent, Mr. Edward, of Banff, 
attached to the brachiz of the common soldier-crab.” 
Besides these discoveries, Edward found an immense ya- 
riety of crustaceans of other orders in the Moray Firth, 
which had never been found before. Some of these were 
new to Britain, some of them new to science. But we will 
not bewilder the reader by introducing the jaw- breaking 
names of the newly discovered crustaceans. We have 
thought it right, however, to mention a few of those in- 
troduced in Messrs. Bate and Westwood’s “ History of the 
Sessile-eyed Crustacea,” for the purpose of confirming the 
statements which we have made as to the indefatigable en- 
thusiasm of: Edward in the pursuit of natural history. It 
must also be mentioned that the sessile-eyed crustacea con- 
stitute only a single order, and that on the one side of them 
there are the Stalk-eyed crustacea, and on the other the En- 
tomostracous crustacea. 
There is one point, however, that must be referred to be- 
fore we conclude this heavy chapter. The impression pre- 
vailed at one time that the Hyperioide were parasites of the 
Medusa, or Jelly-fish. In 1862 Mr. Bate acknowledged the 
receipt of a crustacean, which he denominated Hyperia 
medusarum. He said, “If I am correct, this is the first 
time that I have known it as British.” In a subsequent 
letter (December 23d, 1863), Mr. Bate said: “It is an in- 
teresting circumstance that you should have found the Hy- 
peria and Lestrigonus free on the shore; inasmuch as they
