Synopsis
Excerpt from Studies of Variation in Insects
But the danger referred to by the editors of Biometrika in their introductory editorial (vol. I, 1901 - 1902, p. 5) is already apparent in the pursuit of the new science of variation. The danger will no doubt arise, say the editors, in this new branch of science that - exactly as in some branches of physics - mathematics may tend to diverge too widely from nature. Biologists are rarely mathematicians, and only mathematicians can understand the results and the worth, or even the purport, of some of the recent biometric papers.
