uted questions in natural history, must be discussed in a separate chapter. FOOTNOTES: [Footnote 92: _Nature_, vol. iii. p. 165. Professor Meldola observed that specimens of Danais and Euplaea in collections were less subject to the attacks of mites _(Proc. Ent. Soc._, 1877, p. xii.); and this was corroborated by Mr. Jenner Weir. _Entomologist_, 1882, vol. xv. p. 160.] [Footnote 93: See Darwin's _Descent of Man_, p. 325.] [Footnote 94: _Transactions of the Entomological Society of London_, 1869, p. 21.] [Footnote 95: _Ibid._, p. 27.] [Footnote 96: _Nature_, vol. iii. p. 147.] [Footnote 97: Stainton's _Manual of Butterflies and Moths_, vol. i. p. 93; E.B. Poulton, _Proceedings of the Zool. Soc. of London_, 1887, pp. 191-274.] [Footnote 98: See _Transactions of the Linnean Society_, vol. xxiii. pp. 495-566, coloured plates.] [Footnote 99: These butterflies are now divided into two sub-families, one of which is placed with the Danaidae; but to avoid confusion I shall always speak of the American genera under the old term Heliconidae.] [Footnote 100: R. Meldola in _Ann. and Mag. of Nat. Hist._, Feb. 1878, p. 158.] [Footnote 101: See _Trans. Linn. Soc._, vol. xxv. Wallace, on Variation of Malayan Papilionidae; and, Wallace's _Contributions to Natural Selection_ chaps. iii. and iv., where full details are given.] [Footnote 102: See _Trans. Linn. Soc._, vol. xxvi., with two coloured plates illustrating cases of mimicry.] [Footnote 103: Edwards's _Butterflies of North America_, second series, part vi.] [Footnote 104: Professor Meldola informs me that he has recorded another case of mimicry among British moths, in which Acidalia subsericata imitates Asthena candidata. See _Ent. Mo. Mag._, vol. iv. p. 163.] [Footnote 105: From Professor Meldola's translation of Dr. F. Mueller's paper, in _Proc. Ent. Soc. Lond._, 1879, p. xx.] [Footnote 106: _Island Life_, p. 255.] [Footnote 107: This extension of the theory of mimicry was pointed out by Professor Meldola in the paper already referred to; and he has answered the objections to Dr. F. Mueller's theory with great force in the _Annals and Mag. of Nat. Hist._, 1882, p. 417.] [Footnote 108: Godman and Salvin's _Biologia Centrali-Americana, Insecta, Coleoptera_, vol. iii. part ii., and vol. v.] [Footnote 109: _Trans. Ent. Soc._, 1885, p. 369.] [Footnote 110: _Proc. Cambridge Phil. Soc._, vol. iii. part ii., 1877.] [Footnote 111: _Compte-Ren
