About this book
Problems of Genetics is by William Bateson. The title page names the Mrs. Hepsa Ely Silliman Memorial Lectures. The text says that whatever Linnaeus himself believed to be the truth, the effect of his writings was to induce a conviction that the species of animals and plants were immutably fixed.
The text says we do not find the strenuous and passionate assertions of immutability characteristic of the first half of the nineteenth century till the overt proclamation of evolutionary doctrine by Lamarck. The text describes Gnophos obscurata as a most variable species with many local forms, with a well-known dark variety on the peaty heaths of the New Forest and other districts and various light varieties on the chalk hills of Kent, Sussex and Surrey.
