THE FUNGI OF WARWICKSHIRE. 
Sep., 1890. 
globules, upon parthenogenesis, and upon the origin of the 
sexes. I have not been able to touch upon these subjects 
here, but to those who are interested in the subject of 
heredity I recommend a careful study of Weismann’s own 
work. 
Though one cannot say that the theory is final, one 
cannot help acknowledging that it is more powerful than any 
other yet put forward. It has already been of the greatest 
service in bringing new facts to light, and promises to be of 
still greater benefit in the future. 
I commenced the study of the theory with avowed 
antagonism, but soon found myself in the same predicament 
as Baalam of old, not that I was riding my hobby too hard, 
but that, after being called upon to curse the newly found 
enemy, I was compelled to bless it.
