Excerpt from Animal Coloration: An Account of the Principal Facts and Theories Relating to the Colours and Markings of Animals Colours caused by Absorption of Light due to the Presence of Pigments. By far the commonest source of colour in invertebrate animals is the presence in the skin of definite pigments which absorb all the rays of light except those of a particular wave length, thus giving the effect of a particular colour. Pigments are found also in the hair and skin of mammals, in the feathers of birds, and in the horny integument of reptiles. A great variety of pigments have been approximately isolated and their chemical nature studied but it would be beyond the scope of the present work to attempt any general account of animal pigments. Those interested in the subject may refer to Krii kenberg's Vergleichend physiologische Studien, to papers by Dr. Sorby, Dr. Macmunn and others in the Proceedings of flee Royal Society, the Quarterly Journal of flficroscom'cxl Science and elsewhere.
