 Deals exhaustively with all the views brought forward by scientists to account tor the

 melanic forms in Britain, and theories to account for their origin ; the special value of 

 "natural selection," "environment," "heredity," "disease," "temperature," &c., in

 nected with the use and value of colour in insects is that which has been followed up in 

 Mr. Tutt's series of papers on " Melanism and Melanochroism."
