Abstract
IN NATURE of May 26 I gave an account of the effect of ultra-violet radiation on the colours of the peacock's ‘eye.’ During the last month of sunny weather I have had a specimen in part exposed under quartz to full sunshine—in part screened. There is a definite effect, though much less marked than can be obtained by a few hours' exposure close to the quartz mercury lamp.
