Abstract
PROFS. MACBRIDE and Harrison have devoted some space to refuting a number of statements which I have never made.1 “He suggested in his discourse that Harrison's strain of sawflies had become contaminated with a strain adapted to the new willow”, writes Prof. MacBride. As the discourse is printed in NATURE of June 4 and 11, it is easy to verify the fact that I made no such suggestion. Nor have I ever made any of the criticisms found in Prof. Harrison's last paragraph. I was, however, quite aware of the facts of which he accuses me of lack of knowledge. They would doubtless have been relevant had I made the statement attributed to me above.
