The release-recapture data given in table 1 of Kettlewell et al.'s (1969) paper on a cline in the frequencies of the typica and edda morphs of the moth. Amathes glareosa have  been re-analysed. Estimates of daily survival probabilities have been calculated and these have been "explained" in terms of differences between localities of release and the morph involved. The conclusions of Kettlewell et al. (1969) with regard to the survival of the moths have not been confirmed.
