    First published by Macmillan & Co.^ Ltd.j 1869 First issued in the Fontana Library 1962 Note. The text here printed is that of the second edition, of 1892. No changes have been made, except that an error in the legend to table ii, on page 102, has been corrected in a footnote. The last chapter, apart from the section about Individuality, discusses Pangenesis. It has little connection with the rest of the book, as it consists of an attempt to express the conse¬ quences of Darwin's unfoimded theory of heredity in a form capable of being tested. It has, however, been included for the sake of completeness. с d d UBRARY © In the Introduction, Wm.
