Abstract
I WAS much interested in the letter in NATURE of January 16 on the frequent capture of butterflies in India by the King Crow, as some years ago I experimented with a captive bird of this species, and found that it avoided “warningly-coloured” butterflies when possible, and was deceived by mimicry (J. A. S. B., ii. 1897, p. 651).
