Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Colour Changes of Octopus Vulgaris Lmk
The work embodied in this paper was done at the Bermuda Biological Station for Research during the summer months of 1909 and 1910. The object was to study the colour changes of the Octopus from the standpoint of animal behaviour. The expenses of the first summer were paid by the University of Toronto. It is a great pleasure to thank Professor E. L. Mark of Harvard University, the director of the Biological Station, for very much kindness and for many extremely valuable suggestions, and also Professor F W. Carpenter, who was the director in the summer of 1909 and under whom the work was initiated. My thanks are also due to Mr. Louis Mowbray, the director of the Aquarium, who allowed me ready access to the tanks of the Aquarium at all times and helped me in 'the collection of material.
