Abstract
IN your issue of October 19 there appeared, under the title “Bütschli's Artificial Amœbæ,” a review, by Dr. John Berry Haycraft, of Prof. Bütschli's work upon protoplasm. I venture to think that in many places Dr. Haycraft has misrepresented entirely Prof. Bütschli's researches, while other objections or criticisms which he brings forward are answered in the book itself. Since I have been engaged for some time upon a translation of Prof. Bütschli's work, which is now in the press, I must ask your readers to suspend their judgment until they have a better opportunity of forming an opinion for themselves.
