COMTE TO BENJAMIN KIDD 



I wish to express thanks for kind help on different 

 points ; to Professor Henry Jones of Glasgow Univer- 

 sity ; to the Rev. A. Halliday Douglas, Cambridge ; and, 

 among others, very special thanks to Professor J. Arthur 

 Thomson and Mr. Norman Wyld. Both Mr. Thomson 

 and Mr. Wyld, while busy with important work on 

 the theory of natural selection, found time to give an 

 amateur valuable information bearing on the meaning 

 and merits of Weismann's doctrine of Panmixia. 



R. M.
