 cussed in relation to Miillerian 

 mimicryand ; ProtogoniusaxiAElym-

 Colaenis in relation to, 334 n. 2 ; 

 secondary mimicry probably charac- 

 teristic of Miillerian mimicry, 345,

 in relation to, 376 ; mimicry of 

 snakes in relation to, 376. 



— Bearing upon Theories of Evo- 

 lution of:— supposed transmission of 

 experience and, 1 66-8; mutation 

 and, xxii-xxvi ; internal causes sug- 

 gested to account for, 224, 225, 272, 

 but break down when investigated, 

 227-9. 233, 236-9, 241, 245, 247, 

 249, 250, 257, 260-2, 266-8, 270, 273, 

 275, 276, 278-82; external or phy- 

 sico-chemical causes suggested to 

 account for, 224, 272, but break down 

 when investigated, 227-9, 233, 235- 

 42, 244, 245, 248-50, 260-3, 266-8, 

 270, 273-82 ; contrasted conditions 

 of model and mimic in same locality, 

 243, 244, 276 ; sexual selection 

 suggested as cause of, 225, 228, 272, 

 but breaks down when investigated, 

 227, 228, 233, 236, 245, 246, 260, 261,

 Common Warning Colours (Miillerian 

 mimicry) and, explained by Natu- 

 ral Selection, Essay VIII, 220-70: 

 see also Essay IX, 271-82 ; growth 

 of confidence in interpretation of, 

 by Natural Selection, 218, 218 

 n. 2, 219, 224 ; facts of, con- 

 sistent with interpretation by, Natural 

 Selection, inconsistent with any 

 other suggested explanation, 227-9, 

 233. 235-42, 245, 246-8, 250, 258- 

 62, 266-70, 273, 275, 276, 278-82; 

 reason for special development in 

 S. America of Miillerian mimicry 

 and, 248. 



— Examples of: — see classification 

 of examples of Protective and 

 Miillerian Mimicry, 383-93. (The 

 examples are not discriminated 

 inasmuch as the interpretation is 

 still under discussion : see p. 328.) 

 Batesian or Miillerian interpreta- 

 tion of examples provisional in 

 many cases, 328 ; the clearest 

 examples of Batesian, 367, 376; 

 development of, in Insecta, 367 ; 



captured on one day, in Hope 

 Department, 248, 249; examples in 

 text (except the Leeds series), chiefly 

 selected from Ethiopian and Neo- 

 tropical Regions, 370. 



Mimicry of Adventitious Ob- 

 ject (PSEUDALLAPOSEMATIC RE- 

 SEMBLANCE), 377 : see also 359. 



Mimicry Aggressive, and Al- 

 luring Colours (Pseudepise- 

 matic Resemblance), 377, 378 : see 

 also classification of examples of mimi- 

 cry, 393; place of in bionomic uses of 

 colour, 226 ; directive characters (' eye- 

 spots ') may be examples of, 325, 326 ; 

 definition of, 358-61 ; false attraction 

 is the essential element in, 360 ; re- 

 semblance of Volucella to humble- 

 bees, and Asilidae to their victims 

 probably not examples of, 378. 



mint, Myrmoplasta, mimicking ant, 

 254, 255 (Fig. 3). 



misipptis, Hypolimnas, female of, 

 mimicking L. chrysippus, three 

 forms of female mimicking respec- 

 tively three forms of model, 355, 372; 

 three forms of mimetic female tran- 

 sitional, while two out of three corre- 

 sponding forms of model are sharply 

 marked off, 364, 365 n. 1 ; probably 

 a Miillerian mimic, and specially de- 

 fended; 215-17, 247 ; dominance of, 

 216; extends beyonds its model into 

 New World, 216, 247, 347 ; powers 

 of flight, 216 ; swarm of, observed in 

 mid-Atlantic, 216 n. 2; conspicuous- 

 ness of male, 216, 217 ; ancestral ap- 

 pearance of male, 216, 245 ; male pat- 

 tern mimicked by males of two butter- 

 flies in W. China far beyond its 

 range, 217, 218, 381, 382; mimicry 

 of male perhaps due to. attacks of 

 migratory birds, 217, 218, 382; such 

 a cause, if confirmed, would prove 

 growth of mimicry by selection alone, 

 361.
