fertile. Nor is this nearly general
and perfect fertility surprising, when we
remember
how liable we are to argue in a circle with respect to varieties in a state of nature; and when we remember that the greater number of varieties have been produced under domesti- cation
by the selection of mere external differences, and not of differences in the reproductive system.
