Abstract
DR. JORDAN'S suggestion (p. 153) that the result of a one-sided selection involves a physiological one-sidedness unfitting a mimetic species in other respects for the struggle for existence, can hold good only if the selective change in external imaginal characters be correlated with an unfavourable modification of other characters, perhaps in another stage of the insect's life; inasmuch as destruction can modify a species solely in respect to the constants for which it is selective.
