Abstract
THE last paragraph in Prof. Poulton's letter in NATURE of June 13, referring to Mr. Swynnerton's experience that adult birds possess “a very fair knowledge of the main types of pattern and relative edibility of the local butterflies,” reminds me of the only occasion on which I have seen a butterfly attacked by a bird during five years' observation in this district.
