Abstract
IT has already been pointed out by Mr. Evershed that the “physiological selection” of Dr. Romanes is identical with the theory outlined by me nearly two years ago in these pages (vol. xxxi. p. 4). As all the objections which have been raised apply equally to my theory, I may perhaps be allowed to give my answer to some of them; it will probably differ in some points from that promised by Dr. Romanes in the Fortnightly.
