Abstract
PROF. RETZIUS has lately published an account of certain observations on the fœtus of Swedes, which, in connection with similar observations recorded by Surgeon Havelock Charles on the Punjabite, he believes to support the Lamarckian view that acquired characters are inherited. He endeavours to show that the evidence in support of the theory is to be found in our own skeletons.
