to indicate that M, was less severe in his classification as 
distasteful than was M,. 
The “ ring-diagrams ” give at a glance an analysis of the 
experiments with 244 species on M, and with 131 species on 
M,. It is impossible for it to be a coincidence that of 143 
aposematic species offered to M,, 120 were classed by him 
as distasteful, while of 101 procryptic species 83 were found 
edible. Or, to take the result in another way, will coin- 
cidence explain the fact that of 51 species found by M, to 
be edible, 30 were procryptic, and of 80 found to be dis- 
_ tasteful, 56 were aposematic ?
