Abstract
THE two smaller books by Prof, de Vries written in English have already put us in possession of a clear account of his theory of the origin of species by discontinuous variation. The publication of a translation (of which this is the first volume) of his larger “Die Muta-tionstheorie” will be valuable to students as containing the detailed arguments upon which it is based.
