Title: Letter dated 10 May 1798 from Malta to Palermo Abstract: Francesco Paolo is reporting over some research conducted on four particular families. The end of the missive describes the passage of some Greek ships that called at Malta laden with corn, and that had found no opportunity to discharge (presumably sell) their cargo and had thus sailed off elsewhere.

Title: A rare golden beauty of the butterfly Troides Aeacus Abstract: Butterflies are the most gentle and beautiful creatures on the planet. Nature never ceases to astound us. There are birds the size of a butterfly. And surprisingly, there are butterflies the size of a bird. With a wingspan of 16 cm, the Golden Birdwing is a large butterfly indeed - and a very beautiful one too, with a red head and thorax. Its forewings are black, and its hindwings yellow. Intricate black veins run across its wings, making it a vision to behold. This beauty is a sight to behold. [excerpt]
