A List of Butterflies & Moths (Macro-Lepidoptera), occurring in the neighbourhood of Folkestone, with copious notes

Description:

Scarce local list of Lepidoptera. This is a separately issued and extended version of a paper first published in Quarterly Journal of the Folkestone Natural History Society 1869, pt 4, pp. 72-82. Both include the same text, which has been reset for the separate issue. The latter also extends the list of species to include the moths (the version published in the journal only lists the butterflies). Also included here is the original version, published in the journal.

Chalmers-Hunt 1812, 1813.

Morley, author of List of Butterflies and Moths occurring in the neighbourhood of Folkestone (1931); Michael Dickens, once owner of the Butterfly Farm in Bilsington, near Ashford, Kent.
