INTRODUCTION. 



The Manuscripts and Drawings of the late Mr. A. W. Scott relating to the life-histories of the Australian Lepidoptera, having 

 passed into the possession of the Trustees of the Australian Museum, it was decided to continue the publication, and the 

 work of editing and revising the Notes was entrusted to the late Mr. A. Sidney Olliff, then Entomologist to the Museum, 

 and afterwards to the Department of Agriculture, and Mrs. H. Forde, a daughter of the late Mr, Scott. Four Parts have 

 been issued, of which the dates of Publication are: — 



Part 1. 30 April, 1890. 



•2. 28 February, 1891. 



8. 30 November, 1891. 



4. 31 May, 1893. 



The death of Mr. Olhff, the imperfect state of the remainder of the Notes, and the retirement of Mrs. Forde, brought 

 the work to a standstill, and the Trustees determined to discontinue it for the present. The four Parts above referred to, 

 with the Title Page and Index issued herewith, will therefore form Vol. II. of Mr. A. W. Scott's "Australian Lepidoptera." 

 Volume I. was published in London in 1864.
