This note discusses the question as to whether quasi-particles, such as excitons, i.e., nonlocalized excited states of solids, can fulfill necessary conditions for a Bose-Einstein condensation, and whether such condensation can be observed. Although uncertainties of present data on excitons preclude precise numerical predictions, it is concluded that under certain experimentally attainable circumstances excitons fulfill the necessary conditions, i.e., condensation is possible. Ways of detecting the condensation are considered, and a specific experiment is proposed.
