Abstract
IT may be interesting to know that the rare and beautiful moth, Peilephila Galii, appeared somewhat plentifully in the neighbourhood of Derby during the past summer. I have in my possession a fine male and female which were cap ured at Long Eaton, some few miles from Nottingham, whilst flying in company over a bed of geraniums. Is not this the first recorded instance of their appearance in this locality? Zeuzera Æsculi also appeared in unusual abundance in the same garden, upwards of fifty specimens being taken by one person.
