Abstract
ALTHOUGH only six years have elapsed since De Vries re-discovered the laws of heredity originally propounded by Gregor Mendel, Abbot of Brünn, in 1866, the subject has received so much attention—and in this country especially valuable work has been carried out—that many accounts of the general principles have been written. Prof. Correns, one of the foremost workers on the subject, publishes in this brochure the substance of a lecture delivered at Meran, dealing almost entirely with the botanical side. The accouot does not go far beyond Mendel's propositions, but the subject of crytomcrie is explained with the help of an excellent coloured plate of flowers of Mirabilis, and the writer refecs to Galton's theory and the extent to which characters mendelise, i.e. develop according to Mendel's laws.
