First sentence: THE great principle of inheritance to be discussed in this chapter has been recognised by agriculturists and authors of various nations, as shown by the scientific term Atavism, derived from atavus, an ancestor; by the English terms of Reversion, or Throwing-back; by the French Pas-en-Arriere; and by the German Ruckschlag, or Ruckschritt.
