  • Description: THE problems connected with genetics and "species making" continue to attract the attention, both in the United Kingdom and in America, of many biologists, whose papers should not be neglected by students of heredity and evolution. In the American Naturalist for October last (vol. li, No. 610) Dr. R. R. Gates discusses the mutation theory and the species concept. With the help of many illustrative examples he tries: to show that "there are two distinct types of variability having different geographical relations." The discontinuous type, "independent of environmental or functional influence, has given rise to many specific and generic characters, notably in plants, but also in higher animals." The continuous type "apparently represents the stress of the environment on the species in its dispersal," and "is notably exemplified in birds and mammals."
