PARTHENOGENESIS IN THE ANIMAL KINGDOM. 247 



Dybocosky also a]>peared against parthenogenesis in bis inangnral dis- 

 sertation, "do partbenogenesi;'" but liis objections are unfounded, and 

 evince neitber tborougb investigation nor satisfactory knowledge of tlie 

 subject. Tbe same is the case witb various other objections brought 

 forward by the opponents of parthenogenesis. Xone of them will stand 

 test. 



Tbe reliability of the theory is established beyond doubt by many 

 well-proved facts, and we may rejoice that we have thus gained a new 

 and highly important law for the explanation of the most wonderful 

 phenomena in the animal kingdom.
