Although many of his conclusions have been proven erroneous, they attracted a large following and stimulated research. He developed a theory of Recapitulation illustrated by his gastraea theory wherein he postulated a hypothetical ancestral form (gastraea) represented by the gastrula stage of individual development. He is known also for his study of invertebrate marine organisms, especially the Radiolaria and sponges." (See The Columbia Encyclopedia). Two volumes; requires the shipping charges for two books..
