Scientific paper

IN his review of the new edition of Munro's translation of Lucretius, in NATURE for April 14, Prof. D'Arcy Thompson refers to the many scientific `anticipations' that are to be found in that wonderful poem, which has fossilised, so to speak, some fragments of the lost world of ancient wisdom. I have never seen any mention made of a passage in the ``De Rerum Natura'' in which the three fundamental postulates of Mendelism are laid down as the rules of heredity, and I think it deserves to have attention directed to it.
