110 lock: present state of 



I feel bound to admit that since the successful issue of these 

 experiments I am no longer sceptical as to the accuracy of 

 Mendel's experiments or of his deductions from them. And 

 if, as it would appear, ' ' Nature's " reviewer demands confirma- 

 tion by a?a observer who shall remam sceptical after the event, 

 I am afraid his doubts are unlikely to be done away with. For 

 I know of no sane person who has carried out a reasonable 

 number of experiments on Mendelian lines and still retains 

 the required mental attitude.
