Heredity and Acquired Characters

Abstract

IN NATURE of January 6 there appears a long communication on heredity by Sir Archdall Reid which he conceives to be a reply to criticisms made on a former letter by him on the same subject by Sir Rav Lankester, Prof. Poulton, Dr. Gates, and myself. Leaving these eminent biologists to look after themselves, which they are quite capable of doing, perhaps you will allow me to say a word or two on some points raised in the letter in the current issue.
