Abstract
AS I have already mentioned in a previous communication (Journ. Linn. Soc. vol. xv. p. 376 (Part No. 87), M. Paul Bert (Archiv. de Physiol. 1869, p. 547) has made some very interesting experiments on a small freshwater crustacean belonging to the genus Daphnia, from which he concludes that they perceive all the colours known to us, being, however, especially sensitive to the yellow and green; and that their limits of vision are the same as ours.
