Noble, of the Museum of Natural History at New Voile, suggested that certain markings on toads on which Kannnerer based remarkable claims concerning heredity, were faked by the insertion of colouring matter under the skin. Hammerer confesses that lie found Dr. Noble’s accusations true and added: “Someone must have played a cruel trick on me. tampering with my specimens.” He concluded: "The work of my whole lifetime lias been destroyed.”
