THE EVOLUTION THEORY. By August Weismann, Professor of Zoology in the University of Freiburg-im-Breisgau. Translated by Professor J. Arthur Thomson. With numerous Illustrations and Coloured Plates. Two Vols. Royal 8vo., 32s. net.
The importance of this work is twofold. In the first place, it sums up the teaching of one of Darwin’s greatest successors, who has been for many years a leader in biological progress. As Professor Weismann has from time to time during the last quarter of a century frankly altered some of his positions, this deliberate summing up of his mature conclusions is very valuable. In the second place, as the volumes discuss all the chief problems of organic evolution, they form a reliable guide to the whole subject, and may be regarded as furnishing—what is much needed—a Text-book of Evolution Theory.

Footnotes:

[1] The inferior planet Venus comes closer, but is not visible throughout the night.

[2] The facts were collected with great care and ability by S. P. Rigaud, and published by the Oxford University Press in 1832 as “Miscellaneous Works and Correspondence of the Rev. James Bradley.”

[3] Since the light must travel from the sun to Saturn and back again to the earth, the interval would be more nearly 150 minutes.

[4] Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, vol. xvii. p. 126.

[5] This should be Cambridge, Mass.

[6] The distances do not represent the total displacement, but only the displacement towards Washington in one case and towards Pulkowa in the other.
