Note: George Stewardson Brady (1832–1921) was an eminent British surgeon and zoologist. He practiced medicine in Sunderland between 1857 and 1892 and became a Professor of natural history at Durham College of Science (College of Physical Sciences), Newcastle-upon-Tyne, in 1875. Brady was also an active member of the Tyneside Naturalists Field Club and was honorary curator of botany at the Museum of the Natural History Society of Northumberland, Durham, and Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Most notable of his publications were those on marine and freshwater crustacea, followed by reports on the ostracoda and copepoda of Darwin's Challenger expedition.
