Natural Selection

Abstract

MY letter on “Natural Selection”, which appeared in NATURE of Aug. 10, has provoked comments from three correspondents, namely, Prof. Garstang, whose letter appeared in the issue of Sept. 14, Mr. J. B. S. Haldane, whose letter was published on Sept. 21, and, lastly, Prof. Poulton, in his letter in the issue of Oct. 12. I should like to deal with all three letters at the same time.
