Quotes by Reginald Crundall Punnett

"This little book has been written in the hope that it may appeal to several classes of readers. Not infrequently I have been asked by friends of different callings in life to recommend them some book on mimicry which shall be reasonably short, well illustrated without being very costly, and not too hard to understand. I have always been obliged to tell them that I know of nothing in our language answering to this description, and it is largely as an attempt to remedy this deficiency that the present little volume has been written."

"Only the slow operation of time is able to sift the essential from the merely incidental, and to point out the track which leads to further knowledge."
