98 Dr. G. D. H. Carpenter's Haperiments on 
to belong to one class by one monkey, there was also a 
majority on the same side by the other monkey. 
There only remain a few remarks on some general points, 
1. A wniformly black, polished insect is regarded as 
distasteful.

Instances of Mimicry. 
It has been a matter of great regret to me that the fore- 
going work has such little bearing on Mimicry, but the 
material has been very poor; butterflies having been few 
and not mimetic. There are some cases, however, of 
mimetic insects, not counting the members of the two 
synaposematic groups just listed,
