The colours of animals, their meaning and use, especially considered in the case of insects;
A natural history study by zoologist Edward Bagnall Poulton, published in New York by D. Appleton and Company in 1890, examining why animals and insects have the colours they do. Its pictures are small pen-and-ink diagrams: one shows a caterpillar with a grotesque face and a long tail, the other a plain outlined oval labelled (a), useful to designers for simple line drawings of insect bodies and camouflage shapes.
