Abstract
I MUCH regret that I have been too busy to reply to my friend, Mr. A. R. Wallace (NATURE, April 16, p. 552), till the present moment, but this delay, unavoidable on my part, is the less to be regretted, since it has given an opportunity for the interesting facts recently adduced by Sig. Lorenzo Camerano (NATURE, May 28, p. 77) to be taken into consideration. As Mr. Wallace, with that keen penetration so familiar to all who know him and his writings, goes to the root of the matter under discussion and raises a distinct issue, I will now beg permission to offer a few words in reply to both these gentlemen.
