Abstract
Two comments on Mr. W. N. Edwards's article on Robert Hooke published in NATURE of January 18 seem worth making. The first concerns the date of Hooke's really important geological work, the second the interpretation of a passage which Mr. Edwards has, I think, taken on trust from earlier authorities. My points are condensed from an article on ” The First English Geologist” published in the Durham University Journal of June 1935, in which Hooke's evolutionary doctrine was also examined.
