Abstract
PROF. MACBRIDE'S criticism1 of my lecture on the inheritance of acquired characters falls into three parts. He claims that I have misinterpreted Lamarck, that certain experiments demonstrate the transmission to the offspring of characters acquired as the result of a change of environment, and finally that this latter principle can be inferred from other facts, apart from the results of any experiment.
