He was an early Mendelian geneticist who discovered sex linkage, while writing up the results of the Reverend G.H. Raynor on the magpie moth Abraxas grossulariata.[4] He later wrote a number of books on Mendelian genetics and on sex determination. He was appointed assistant to the Superintendent of the Cambridge University Museum of Zoology in June 1902,[5] and himself filled this position from 1909 to 1914.[6] He was elected to the Royal Society of London on the strength of these achievements in 1915. He died of sarcoma in 1920, and William Bateson wrote his obituary in Nature.[7] His book Heredity in the Light of Recent Research (1910), is notable for explicitly dismissing Lamarckian inheritance.[8] Publications
