Abstract
IN a letter to NATURE (May 31), R. A. Jones has well expressed the molluscan tendency of men of science to grow a shell and stay in it, and the difficulty of acquiring the arthropod ability to moult into an administrative stage. This difficulty exists in Canada also, but to a lesser degree, I think, than in England. The reaction to strong criticism may often be an invitation to “come and do it yourself, you who know so much”.
