ture de Lyon " (ser. 2, vols. vii. and viii.) includes Lepidoptera, 

 and was published separately at Lyons in 1857,=^^ 



Australia. 



The first work on Australian Lepidoptera subsequent to 

 Donovan's, to which we have already referred {ciutea p. 165), 

 was Lewin's " Prodromus of Entomology, or Natural History 

 of the Lepidopterous Insects of New South Wales" (1805 

 and 1822). It is a small quarto volume, containing eighteen 

 coloured plates, representing the transformations of as many 

 species of Moths, and is still of considerable scientific value ; 

 in fact, several of the illustrations of Australian Moths in the 

 Naturalist's Library have been taken from this book. 



A later and much more elaborate work on a similar sul)ject 

 is Scott's "Australian Lepidoptera,'' which is a large folio book. 

 Three parts were published in 1864 and 1865; but the work was 

 then discontinued, in consequence of the death of the author, 

 until a year or two ago, when a new series was commenced, edited 

 by Mrs. Ford (a daughter of Mr. Scott), and A. S. Olliff. I regret 

 to add that this important work appears to have been again 

 interrupted in a similar manner, Olliff, a young man who 

 was well known to English Entomologists, and who was doing 

 very good work in Australia, having recently died. 



Two useful little books on Australian Butterflies, illustrated 

 by woodcuts, may here be mentioned : Olliff's " Australian 

 Butterflies" (Sydney, 1889), and Anderson and Spry's "Vic- 

 torian Butterflies " (2 parts, Melbourne, 1893 and 1894). 



Besides these works, a great number of important papers on 

 Australian Lepidoptera, by Scott, Miskin, Lucas, Tepper, 



* Valuable essays on Papuan Lepidoptera have been puljlished by 

 T. Kirsch, in the Mitth. Zool. Mus. Dresden, and by the Hon. Walter 

 Kotbschild and Mr. II. Grose Smilh in the " Novitates Zoological;."
