MIMICRY IN BUTTERFLIES 



EXTRACT FROM THE PREFACE 



"This little book has been written in the hope that it may appeal to several 

 classes of readers. 



Not infrequently I have been asked by friends of different callings in life to 

 recommend them some book on mimicry which shall be reasonably short, well illus- 

 trated without being very costly, and not too hard to understand. I have always 

 been obliged to tell them that I know of nothing in our language answering to 

 this description, and it is largely as an attempt to remedy this deficiency that the 

 present little volume has been written. 



I hope also that it will be found of interest to those who live in or visit tropical 

 lands, and are attracted by the beauty of the butterfly life around them."
