Abstract

The paper was the outgrowth of observations made on the Western plains. It is published in full in the American Naturalist for 1888. While recognizing the validity of protective, ornamental and typical coloration, as defined by Darwin, Wallace, Belt and others, the writer claimed that a very considerable amount of coloration in animals remained unexplained.
