Abstract
IT is a great honour to an author to have his book reviewed by the principal surviving advocate of the theories he has attacked. The only drawback to this honour is that the faculty of criticism, especially perhaps of impartial criticism, is very unequally developed in mankind, and, with the most honourable intentions, many misstatements or other slighter misrepresentations are likely to result. I should like to confine my remarks to six of these from the review of my book in NATURE of Oct. 18, which, I am sure, Prof. R. C. Punnett will be as glad as I to see decently buried. They can all be easily verified.
