Abstract

The extremely interesting case of ‘mimicry’ in fishes, described in Nature of July 26, p. 120, calls for comment. If this is a case of Batesian (pseudaposematic) mimicry there should be some suggestion that the numerous Haplochromis and Tilapia are relatively distasteful to predators, but nothing is said of this.
