Abstract

The English naturalist William C. Hewitson (1806-78) was trained as a surveyor, but various good fortunes enabled him to retire at an early age and devote his attention to the pursuit of natural history. His chief interests were entomology and ornithology, the classic British Oology (183342) being his major contribution to the latter field.
