Neville Chamberlain was Prime Mininster at the outbreak of WWII, from May 1937 until May 1940. However, long before that, he was a keen amateur lepidopterist with a particular interest in the small moths known generally as pugs, and was said to have collected one of the finest series of moths in the country. The paragraph of notes relate to Demas coryli and observations of them in Tongue, Sutherland (or Sutherlandshire as it was written).
