The Darwinian theory

摘要

In regard to Prof. MacBride's reply to my letter in your Octobernumber, I may be excused from replying to those parts which areirrelevant, and still more from retorting upon those parts which arepersonal. In that section, however, which is devoted to my criticism,Prof. MacBride displays such an astonishing lack of familiarity withthe biometrical method, and still more with the established results ofBiometry, that a few words of elucidation may not be out of place.
