Functionless Organs

Abstract

IN reference to the Duke of Argyll's letter, I should wish to say that I am not aware of any reason for regarding the electric organ of any Skate as a “prophetic structure,” using that term in the sense given to it by the Duke. And I should be very glad if he, instead of confining himself to a simple assertion that it is so, would explain the reasons which lead him to regard it as being so. It might then be possible to combat those reasons.
