NOTES

After the revolt arising from the appearance of "The Origin of Species" the popular mind settled down in the main to an acceptance of Darwin's theory of "Natural Selection." There has, however, in the scientific mind, been more or less a criticism and non-acceptance of "Natural Selection" as a cause for the development of new species. This has continued since Darwin's day, becoming more and more acute, and probably no articles have excited greater interest than those of Spencer and Weissman during the nineties. At the present time, especially in Germany and France, "Natural Selection" is very much attacked, and it is the aim of Professor Kellogg of Stanford University in his book on "Darwinism To-day" (Holt), to give the present day position of Darwin as to this phase of biology. Vom Sterbelager des Darwinismus is the title of a recent pamphlet, and this seems to be the attitude of the German schools. Professor Kellogg has given a most readable book not only to Biologists but also to the general reader in which he clearly shows that the trend of German and French thought is producing more and more impress on the English speaking mind. He admirably presents the position of Darwin and Evolution, and then proceeds to take up individually the attacks on and the defense of "Natural Selection." He presents the substitute hypotheses for "Natural Selection," which are far from satisfying. ural Selection" may not be true in the sense of cause, but it is by far the best working hypothesis at present. Biological cause and effect is a debatable field, and the palaeontologist and experimental biologist have many problems to solve on the "Origin of Species."

Professor Baldwin of Yale has brought a series of minor papers into a volume, "Essays Out of Hours" (Longmans). Some are literary studies, but we confess to preferring the rich flavor of certain cullings from the Atlantic's bright Contributors' Club. We halt between "Master Vergil" and "Salad." "Prejudice cannot consist with salad" is worthy of old Montaigne.
