Abstract
Early attempts to study the color-vision of insects often led to erroneous conclusions. The absurd tests made with pieces of colored paper remind us how meager must have been the knowledge of the physics of color possessed by many experimenters in the past. As late as 1912, Seitz (4), in his own field a thoroughly competent entomologist, published a short paper that displayed a profoundly poor knowledge of physical optics.Keywords
