Notes on Natural Selection and the Origin of Species. 

 By Frances P. Pascoe, F.L.S. {London: Taylor and Francis. 1884.) 



In this little pamphlet of 20 pages, the author discusses 

 Darwin's great work, and whilst acknowledging the great 

 principle of evolution, does not appear to accept the whole of the 

 Darwinian theory. It is a carefully written publication.
