ABSTRACT THE Zoological Society of New York recently issued a very interesting paper written by Mr. C. H. Townsend on the instantaneous changes of colour among tropical fishes (thirteenth
annual report, 1909). The specimens came from the Bermudas, and are kept under favourable conditions in the aquarium of the society. The changes of coloration “begin to be in evidence within
an hour of the arrival of new specimens, or as soon as they recover from the alarm produced by handling, and are produced as long as the fishes live in the tanks, which, in some cases, may
be several years.” Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution ACCESS OPTIONS Access through your institution
