     It appears to the writer that [Oscar] Riddle attacks very successfully the de Vriesian interpretation of these phenomena. Unfortunately, however, he utterly confuses Mendelian facts with de Vriesian and Weismannian theories—hypotheses, rather, and attempts to throw both facts and hypotheses out of court.

     Even if we assume that the various substances with which we have been dealing are each produced by a single pair of chromosomes rather than by all the organs of the cell we can not look upon the chromosomes as the hereditary units spoken of by the de Vriesians and Weismannians, for we here look upon each chromosome as playing possibly an important part in the development of every feature of the organism.
