Abstract
MR. A. R. WALLACE writes, in NATURE, vol. xx. p. 143, that, according to the theory which I support, Australian (and more especially Queensland) sheep should show a tendency to grow a scantier and thinner fleece than their English ancestors. “If Mr. Butler,” he continues, “could adduce on good authority such a fact as this, he would have some evidence in his favour, instead of which he can only make suppositions.”
