From:
Alfred Russel Wallace
To:
Raphael Meldola
Date:
17 August 1886
Source of text:
Hope Entomological Library, Oxford University Museum of Natural History: ARW 147
Summary:

His reply to Romanes will appear in the Fortnightly. Thinks he has shown the entire fallacy of his whole argument, and also thinks that he has hit upon the true key to the solution. Calls Romanes' writing style tedious and long-winded.

  • Marchant, J. (Ed.). (1916). In: Alfred Russel Wallace; Letters and Reminiscences. Vol. 2. London & New York: Cassell & Co. [pp. 36-38]
Summary:

Meldola's reply to Romanes in Nature does not go far enough. Newton calls attention to same view in Belt's Nicaragua. Darwin had commented No! No! against this in his copy. Could Meldola hold a brief for ARW at the British Association on this matter? In depth discussion of the content of his paper against Romanes in the Fortnightly.
