I have given above most of the more marked passages which I have
been able to find in Mr. Romanes' book which attribute instinct to
memory, and which admit that there is no fundamental difference
between the kind of memory with which we are all familiar and
hereditary memory as transmitted from one generation to another.

But throughout his work there are passages which suggest, though
less obviously, the same inference.

The passages I have quoted show that Mr. Romanes is upholding the
same opinions as Professor Hering's and my own, but their effect and
tendency is more plain here than in Mr Romanes' own book, where they
are overlaid by nearly 400 long pages of matter which is not always
easy of comprehension.

Moreover, at the same time that I claim the weight of Mr. Romanes'
authority, I am bound to admit that I do not find his support
satisfactory. The late Mr. Darwin himself--whose mantle seems to
have fallen more especially and particularly on Mr. Romanes--could
not contradict himself more hopelessly than Mr. Romanes often does.
Indeed in one of the very passages I have quoted in order to show
that Mr. Romanes accepts the phenomena of heredity as phenomena of
memory, he speaks of "heredity as playing an important part IN
FORMING MEMORY of ancestral experiences;" so that, whereas I want
him to say that the phenomena of heredity are due to memory, he will
have it that the memory is due to the heredity, which seems to me
absurd.

Over and over again Mr. Romanes insists that it is heredity which
does this or that. Thus it is "HEREDITY WITH NATURAL SELECTION
