Abstract
MR. LOWNDES has misunderstood my article. Its purpose was not to put forward a theory of the heritability of acquired habit but to show that this heritability has been experimentally proved to be a fact. If this is so, it is possible to explain all cases where the course of evolution has been followed in detail, as well as to explain the recapitulatory element in development.
