Abstract
THERE is a peculiar irony in the fact that the method of investigation which in the nine-teenth century was responsible for the greatest revolution ever effected in man's outlook and appreciation of his own place in Nature should at present be despised and rejected by so manybiologists. The publication of a new treatise on morphology is a challenge to the widespreadattitude of depreciation of the value of such studies. Perhaps the question at issue can be best defined by a concrete illustration.
