Abstract
IN a reference which appeared in NATURE of July 28, p. 144, to my paper on the inheritance of long and short wings in the weevil, Sitona hispidula (Trans. Boy. Soc. Edin., vol. 55, part 3, No. 27), a statement occurs which it is desirable to correct. It is stated in the note that evidence from breeding indicates that the abnormal condition of the wing muscles in long-winged weevils is inherited, probably as a Mendelian recessive. The latter part of this sentence is inaccurate, for it was the character normally developed wing muscles which I suggested might be inherited as a Mendelian recessive.
