Although Mr. Hamilton, the President, remarks that he thinks 'It may be doubted whether this assumed law can be maintained as a universal generalization,' this is a question which has not been and must be fairly worked out, and must therefore long remain an open one amongst Geologists and Palaeontologists who are worthy Members of such Associations as ours..."

The members present then read over the printed rules and recommendations one by one, and carefully compared them with the memoranda above mentioned, as well as with many letters from other naturalists..." (p. 27). Gordon McOuat writes ("Species, Rules, and Meaning: The Politics of Language and the Ends of Definitions in 19th Century Natural History," Studies in History & Philosophy of Science 27(4): 473-519, on p. 514): "...Strickland had said in 1838 that 'A name whose meaning is glaringly false may be changed.' Among those opposing this line was Alfred Russel Wallace, who wanted it deleted from the 2nd edition of the Rules issued by the BAAS in 1863. He was not successful."

The gentleman who was struck, Mr. Alfred R. Wallace, the eminent naturalist, said--'It was my own fault entirely, I broke the conditions--the orders were to join hands; and I was very curious to know what sort of hand was playing the guitar, and that was the cause of the blow.' We again sat, and saw no more of the wound, the spirits having used their endeavours to heal it."

On that aspect of the question I agree with you unhesitatingly throughout . . . But I doubt if evolution alone, even as you have exhibited its action, can account for the development of the advanced and enthusiastic altruism that not only exists now, but apparently has always existed among men . . . "

Barrett quotes a "recent" letter he has received from Wallace: "I am not at all dissatisfied with the progress of the Society [for Psychical Research]'s work. The energy of Messrs. Myers and Gurney is admirable, and I feel convinced that if they go on much faster they will be classed with 'deluded Spiritualists,' and will get no more attention from the literary public than the Spiritualists themselves."
