Abstract
WITH reference to my presidential address to Section D of the British Association, of which a full report appeared in NATURE of September 22, I must rectify an omission by pointing out that the theory of the possible influence of hormones in inheritance was first enunciated by Mr. J. T. Cunningham in a paper in the Archiv für Entwicklungsmechanik, vol. xxvi., 1908, entitled “The Heredity of Secondary Sexual Characters in Relation to Hormones, a Theory of the Heredity of Somatogenic Characters.” It was through inadvertence that the reference to Mr. Cunningham's paper was not printed in the copies of the address distributed at the meeting at Sheffield.
