Abstract
THERE never was a greater opportunity for successful and fruitful synthesis in science than exists now in respect of general biology. At last we know the main outlines of the laws of most vital phenomena—comparative morphology, physiology, embryology, Entwicklungsmechanik, cytology, heredity, evolution, ecology. Never in the past has there existed the possibility which exists to-day—the possibility of erecting a unified science of biology, in the same sense in which there has existed for some time a unified science of physics, in which each advance in each separate branch means an advance in the whole, and not merely another step down an isolated track.
