Abstract
ONE of the hypotheses on which the theory of natural selection is based consists in the interpretation of the coloration and general appearance of animals from the point of view of protection from enemies. The range of protective devices considered to be sufficiently effective as factors in the selection is very great, but exact investigations aiming at proving that such devices actually protect their possessors are scarce.
