Abstract
IN Dr. C. Walker's quotations (NATURE, November 23 and December 7) from Dr. A. Reid's paper, Prof. Karl Pearson is represented as saying: “We inherit our parents' tempers, our parents' consciousness, &c.”; this should read: “We inherit our parents' tempers, our parents' conscientiousness”, &c. (see Journal Royal Anth. Inst., vol. xxxiii., p. 204).
