Excerpt from The Mechanism of Mendelian Heredity

We have tried to bring the book up to date not only by adding here and there throughout the text the latest results on the subject, but also by adding two entirely new chapters, and new maps of the best known mutant factors. Much new material has been added to the chapter on sex, the chapter on selection has been largely rewritten. The new chapters are one on heredity in Protozoa, and one on mutation in the evening primrose. In the latter field, the latest results of de Vries and others on Oenothera, and the work on balanced lethals, bid fair to bring the earlier discoveries of de Vries into line with more recent work in the whole field of mutation and inheritance.
