Second Report on a Test of McDougall's Lamarckian Experiment on the Training of Rats
Abstract
The late Prof. McDougall's four 'Reports on a Lamarckian Experiment' are likely to become a classic of experimental biology, as being the most sustained attempt up to the present to demonstrate the reality of Lamarckian inheritance in a particular instance. Although, as will appear from this account of our own experiment, we do not believe that it will take its' place in the history of biology as a successful attempt, we take this opportunity of acknowledging our appreciation of his nearly twenty years' devotion to this very laborious and exacting experiment.
