Abstract
IN a notice of Quetelet's works, published in NATURE, vol. v. p. 358, I raised the question whether this eminent statistician's method of defining a race or population might be applied to provide naturalists with a means of defining species. Since then, the consideration of Mr. Francis Galton's explanatory diagram, given at p. 28 of his work on “Hereditary Genius,” has led me to attempt to carry this problem a stage further.
