Abstract
IN NATURE of August 8 there appear two letters on the subject of natural selection: one from ray friend, Prof. H. E. Armstrong, and another from my friend, Prof. Hale Carpenter. Prof. Armstrong in his attack on ” Natural Selection” quotes me. Prof Carpenter in his reply thinks that Prof. Armstrong's objections are easily answered. At the risk of appearing tedious, I desire to make one more effort to bring home to Prof. Carpenter the insuperable objections which exist to the explanation of ” mimicry” or any other biological phenomenon whatever from ” natural selection”.
