Abstract
IN the striking and suggestive review of Mr. Punnett's work on “Mendelism,” in NATURE of May 23, the reviewer cites, without naming the author, a view expressed by Mr. A. D. Darbishire (Manchester Memoirs, 1906) to the effect that “the Mendelian deals with units and the biometrician with masses,” and states that this idea, “though plausible, is based on a fallacy,” for “the Mendelian's units are the biometrician's masses, except when the latter exceeds his limits and includes within his masses more than one such unit.”
