The name of this moth furnishes me with an argument 
against those who advocate the adoption of an exclusively 
Latin nomenclature by even persons who have never been 
put to the trouble of learning any other than their mother 
tongue. Staunch churchman as I hereditarily am, I ex¬ 
ercise the widest tolerance towards those who are not so 
happy as to be within the pale of the church. You may 
imagine therefore with what feelings I one day last year 
received the intelligence that a brother Entomologist had 
recently captured and killed some two hundred Presbyterir- 
ans . It was, in fact, made a matter of boast. I expressed 
the thought that it might yet prove not to have been the 
case ; but mv informant stood me out that the deed had 
been done. I could, as a magistrate for the East-Riding, 
have issued a warrant for the immediate apprehension of 
this second Claverhouse, but I concluded that, after all, 
his own reflections would be a sufficient punishment; so 
I left him to them and went on my way, without further 
thought of “Bonny Dundee” or of the retributive justice 
which deeds like his might merit and demand.
