Note 23 — Chapter III
Reading edition
Possibly the school of Weismann may simply refuse to accept the facts, which are confessedly rare, and, in many of the cases alleged, dubious.

Therefore, even if the Neo-Darwinians repudiate this evidence, at least they ought to state that such is the position which they adopt.
