nature or the names of the logical processes; but as far as it lay in my power I have avoided setting my foot on controversial ground. There are in the book, no doubt, many errors in detail, but it is hoped that no serious ones have crept in. I wish to thank Professor Francis Darwin of Cambridge, England, and President David Starr Jordan of Stanford University, both of whom made important suggestions, and Professor H. B. Lathrop of Stanford University, who carefully revised the manuscript. FRANK CRAMER. MANZANITA HALL.

A SCIENTIFIC discovery is the outcome of an interesting process of evolution in the mind of its author. When we are able to detect the germs of thought in which such a discovery has originated, and to trace the successive stages of the reasoning by which the crude idea has developed into an epochmaking book, we have the materials for reconstructing an important chapter of scientific history. - PROF.
