CD’s ideas on causes of variation may be as hazy as the reviewer’s.</p><p style='text-align: justify;'>Huxley’s clever remark on Pangenesis. JDH’s view of Pangenesis as fundamental to development doctrines, but nothing is gained by formulation in terms of germs or gemmules.</p><p style='text-align: justify;'>Tries to answer question on last page of CD’s letter anent sexuality.</p>
