Resumo

PROF. WEISMANN'S views on heredity and allied phenomena have met with such general acceptance that I feel it to be presumptuous on my part to attempt any criticism of them. I cannot but think, however, that a statement of the difficulties which they present to me, and of the inconsistencies which appear to exist in the argument, may be of value, not indeed as a refutation, but as drawing attention to those points which seem to require further elucidation.
