(Ch. 5. Checks) northern Lioness is hunting for food, it is asserted the hyænas prey on her young. In very many other cases the check falls not on the egg, but on the young: thus Smeathman (Philosoph. Transact. 1781, p. 167) says not one young white ant termite out of a million can survive to form a nest. thinks that not a pair in many millions of the Termes or white ant lays the foundation of a new community, common ants being the chief destroyers. In other cases, of which instances have been

We might have taken for our example, insects devouring pollen instead of nectar, as pollen is formed for a definite object its destruction appears at first a simple

Ants, could not possibly have been thus acquired. [pencil insertion by Litchfield:] (p. 257) If It will be universally admitted that the instincts of each species are good for it as important as th under the its conditions of life, as important for its welfare is as is as [illeg] corporeal structure. Then Under changed conditions of life it is at least possible that slight modifications of instinct might be profitable to any species. And if it can be shown that natural instincts do vary ever so
