Glimpses of Indian Birds

In the brief sketches that follow I find occasion repeatedly to attack the prevalent theories of protective colouration, because it is impossible for the naturalist who uses his eyes to accept these theories. Most of these hypotheses were advanced by field naturalists, but they have since been elaborated by cabinet zoologists and have become a creed. Now, Huxley remarked with truth, Science commits suicide when it adopts a creed. With equal truth he asserted, Authorities, disciples, and schools are the curse of science and do more to interfere with the work of the scientific spirit than all its enemies. In England zoology is at present in the hands of schools and authorities of the kind to which Huxley objected. The result is that where, in some of my previous books, I have exposed the shallowness of the prevalent theories, I have been taken to task by certain reviewers who are disciples of those authorities. These gentlemen term my criticisms superficial, but they have made no attempt to show in what way my [010] criticisms are superficial. There is a good reason for this.
