I shall be much interested to hear what you think 

 of these proposals, and meanwhile remain 



Yours truly,

Geanies. 



My dear Sir, Your book I will look forward to 

 with much interest, and certainly not least so to 

 your treatment of that very comprehensive question 

 -< What then ? ' 



I will send you a copy of my paper on Physiological 

 Selection as soon as I return to London, which will 

 be about Christmas. 



With many thanks for your kindness, I remain, 

 yours truly, G. J. ROMANES.

My dear Sir, Many thanks for sending me a copy 

 of your book, 1 which seems to me everywhere admi- 

 rable. Of course, I am particularly glad that you 

 think with me so much on physiological selection, but 

 even apart from this, the work is, to my mind, one of 

 the most clearly thought out that I have met with in 

 Darwinian literature. I have sent it on to i Nature ' 

 for review, understanding from the office that a copy 

 had not then been received. But for your kind 

 mention of myself, I should have reviewed it. 



A most remarkable paper has been sent to the 

 Linnean Society by a Mr. Gulick on ' Divergent 

 Evolution/ for the publication of which in the 

 ' Journal ' you might look out. 



G. J. ROMANES.
