POSTSCRIPT. 



In consequence of the death of my lamented friend Mr. Hevvitson, the duty of 

 publishing the last part of his ' Illustrations of Diurnal Lepidoptera ' has devolved 

 upon me. 



At the time of Mr. Hewitson's death in the month of May last, there were at 

 his residence at Oatlands two unfinished plates, drawn by him on the stone : I am 

 indebted to Mr. Rippon for putting the finishing touches to the stone, and coloring 

 the two specimen plates ; while Mr. Kirby has been good enough to attend to the 

 letterpress, which was in manuscript, and to prepare the index for the whole 

 work. 



As the " Specimen of a Catalogue of Lycaenidae in the British Museum," by 

 Mr. Hewitson, forms an integral part of the work, its contents have been included 

 in the Index, although it was published by the Trustees of the British Museum, 

 and not by Mr. Van Voorst. 



Three new species in the last part are described by Mr. Kirby ; these descrip- 

 tions, as well as a few trifling additions, are enclosed in brackets and signed with 

 his initials.
