Summary:
RS’s facts are remarkable. A year or two ago CD would not have believed ants could produce an inherited effect, but he has "lately come to believe rather more in inherited mutilations". However, CD is not satisfied that the sacs are inherited and urges RS to produce any other evidence he might have.
