Excerpt from Alternating Generations: A Biological Study of Oak Galls and Gall Flies
The originality of the matter, and the important light which it threw on some of the great biological problems of the day, induced me to ask his permission to publish it in an English dress. I have to thank him for the generous manner in which he placed his work, and the beautiful drawings which accompanied it, at my disposal. Unfortunately the stones from which the illustrations were printed had been broken up, but I venture to think that they have been very faithfully reproduced.
