Abstract
THE theory of evolutionary method to which the name of “Organic Selection” has been generally applied was independently originated by Profs. Baldwin, Osborn and Lloyd Morgan, It has been accepted in its main features by many leading biologists, who see in it a probable interpretation of numerous facts which have hitherto been felt as difficulties in the way of the Darwinian explanation of evolutionary processes. It has even been considered to afford a prospect of reconciliation between the Neo-Lamarckians and the impugners of the hereditary transmission or acquired characters, though there can be no doubt that for the former party its adoption would mean nothing less than the surrender of the central citadel of their position.
