Excerpt from The Genitalia of the Group Noctuidæ of the Lepidoptera of the British Islands: An Account of the Morphology of the Male Clasping Organs

It is therefore not without misgivings that I am induced to record the results of 20 years spent in happy investigations, made in odd hours stolen from so busy a life that often weeks would elapse, before I could spare the time to continue my favourite pursuits, this coupled with the fact that I have suffered nearly every year with a distressing eye trouble, must be sufficient excuse for not falling in with my friends wishes earlier.

A mere accident drew my attention to these organs, and about the same time a question arose as to the identity of certain specimens of Miana taken in Ireland, which appeared to puzzle the savants of that time.
