    data for all such matters as uterine and foetal physiology, effect of different environmental agents upon growth, etc., must come from animal experimentation. The eugenist may then apply these results to the human species, giving due regard to the deviations and limitations peculiar to that species. In no other way, it seems to me, can we arrive at sound, scientific, guiding principles. By way of conclusion we may then say that the experimental study of inheritance in plants and animals is one of the main foundations upon which progress in scientific eugenics must rest. Genetics is at once the guide and the support of eugenics.
