Abstract
THE writer of the article on the “Origin of Species,” which was published in the North British Review for June 1867, has corrected in your periodical for November 30 an unimportant error which occurs in a certain paragraph of that article. There is, however, it appears to me, a much more serious error in the same paragraph, which vitiates his arithmetical calculations throughout, and leads him to an erroneous conclusion.
