184 Darwin and Embryology 
In writing this essay I have purposely refrained from taking a 
definite position with regard to the problems touched. My desire 
has been to write a chapter showing the influence of Darwin’s work 
so far as Embryology is concerned, and the various points which come 
up for consideration in discussing his views. Darwin was the last 
man who would have claimed finality for any of his doctrines, but he 
might fairly have claimed to have set going a process of intellectual 
fermentation which is still very far from completion.
