Note 17 — LECTURE XVI
J. Arthur (John Arthur) Thomson translation

I think, however, that no one who is familiar with my writings for the years immediately preceding, which are collected in Aufsätzen über Vererbung und verwandte biologische Fragen (Jena, 1892), will dispute that the idea was reached by me independently. I attach importance to this because all my later work is based upon this idea.
