Abstract
IN my letter of the 1st inst. an omission of parentheses and quotation marks, which I omitted to note on the proof, alters the sense of the paragraph with quotations from the “Germ Plasm,” pp. 434–5. It should be as follows:—“The note runs thus: ‘Compare Marcus Hartog, NATURE, vol. xliv. p. 102,’ (the reference omits my letter of Oct. 31, 1891). ‘The deductions made by this author are logically correct but are no longer justifiable, since I myself have gained further insight into the problems concerned.’” The absence of the inverted commas disguises this recognition by Weismann of the validity of my objections, and of the consequent change in his own views.
