Abstract
A LETTER of mine on the subject of butterfly pigments was published so recently in NATURE (December 31, 1891, p. 197) that I hesitate to ask for further space at the present time. But the appearance of Mr. Perry Coste's articles, together with the tone of some remarks made by him at the close of the last article, lead me to venture upon a few words, partly in criticism of a theory he advances, and partly (though this is less important) in claim of priority, since Mr. Coste does not do me the honour to refer to my work on the subject.
