Summary:
Galton agrees with GJR about rudimentary organs.
GJR’s note referred to possibility of selection acting on organic types as distinguished from individuals.
Thinks Grant Allen has not made out his point [in Physiological aesthetics (1877)], but his fundamental principle probably has much truth.
