Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from On Germinal Transplantation in Vertebrates
The curiosity of zoologists has long been aroused to know whether the reproductive gland of a vertebrate can be successfully transplanted from the body of one individual to another; and, if so, whether the gland will thereafter function in its new environment; and, if it does, whether the nature of its products will remain unaltered. The fact has repeatedly been pointed out that experiments of this sort, if successful, Should afford a crucial test of the Lamarckian and the Weismannian views, respectively, of the relation of the germinal substance to its environment and in particular to the body.
