Abstract
I REGRET very much that I did not correctly remember, when writing to NATURE a month ago, what my friend Mr. Thiselton-Dyer had said at the Linnean Society's meeting. I suppose that in consequence I must not greatly complain that whilst telling us what he really did say, my friend has taken the opportunity to present a version of my views which is far from accurate. He has less excuse than I had in attempting to cite his remarks, since he has before him my printed letter of July 16. This fact also renders it easy to show wherein he is inaccurate.
