Vlll PREFACE. 



express my thanks for their kindness, and 

 assure them that in whatever manner the 

 remainder of my time may be spent, the 

 period I passed in their company will ever be 

 remembered with pleasure. 



I return my thanks to the gentlemen of 

 the British Museum for the list of Zoology 

 in the Appendix, and very much regret that 

 family affliction has prevented E. Doubleday, 

 Esq., of that Institution, from furnishing the 

 Catalogue of the Lepidopterous Insects. 

 Many other skins and animals than those 

 enumerated have been sent to England, but 

 have not yet been examined. 



HUGH LOW.
