Abstract
THAT genetical conceptions continue to permeate modern botany and zoology in many directions is shown by recent work. Genetics and cytology can no longer be regarded as special subjects of which the naturalist can afford to be ignorant. They are making their influence increasingly felt in every phase, not only of experimental biology, but also of systematic and descriptive work. This will be true in a larger sense as further genetic analysis throws more light on the nature of the inherited varietal and specific differences.
