Abstract
THE scope of the work before us is sufficiently indicated by a list of its main sections. A brief general introduction is succeeded by a division of the subject under nine heads:—(i.) Protective Colouring; (ii.) Protective Resemblance; (iii.) Warning Colours; (iv.) Mimicry or Protective Imitation; (v.) The Imitation of Aculeate Hymen-optera, or “Sphecoidie”; (vi.) The Imitation of Ants, or “Myrmecoidie”; (vii.) The Imitation of Beetles; (viii.) Mimicry in Lepidoptera; (ix.) The General Characteristics of Mimetic Lepidoptera. Some of the principal memoirs in the literature of the subject are named in a short list at the end of the volume, but anything like a complete treatment is manifestly impossible in a work of this size.
