Abstract
DR. BATHER in NATURE of October 27, p. 271, referred Sir Archdall Reid to Prof. Goodrich's presidential address to Section D of the British Association at its Edinburgh meeting this year for a discussion of certain questions, and characterised that address as “clear and thoughtful.” It appears to me that Prof. Goodrich had adopted Sir Archdall Reid as his guide and authority in questions of evolution, and it is difficult to understand how the teacher could learn from his pupil. Prof. Goodrich's address ignores the greater part of all the new conceptions and new results obtained by recent research on heredity and genetics. The only recent work of importance which he mentions is that of Guyer on the effect of lens-destroying serum injected into rabbits.
