MIMICRY IN BUTTERFLIES 



By Reginald Cbundall Punnett, F.R.S., Fellow of Gonville and Caius College, 

 Arthur Balfour Professor of Genetics in the University of Cambridge. 



EXTRACT FROM THE PREFACE 



(i 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."
