priority. When in May 1864, in his paper on the Evolution of Man, in the Anthropological Review, he repeated his disclaimer, Hooker writes to Darwin (May 14): 'I am struck with his negation of all credit or share in the Natural Selection theory—which makes one think him a very high-minded man.' [page] 500 many ways have you aided me.' Yet again, when this delicate situation had been arranged, he adds, 'You must let me once again tell you how deeply I feel your generous kindness and Lyell's on this

Dr. Carpenter affirms that he had no more reason for so calling them than the botanist would have in speaking of a budding plant as of the female sex up to the time of the evolution of the flowering system. (p. 194.) And this will seem to be true to the botanist who may view such a plant as an individual whole, with its nutritive, * H. D. Goodsir, 'On the Development, c. of the Acephalocysts,' Trans.

The same Botanist indicates its relation to Chloranths in the structure of the filament, and to Samyds in that of the fruit, the monadelphous stamens of both which may be perhaps considered a higher kind of evolution of the fleshy disk in the bottom of the flower of Laciatema. In habit the species are said to be something like Peppers, but more arborescent. To me, however, they look much more like Casearias with an amentaceous inflorescence, and they might easily be mistaken for them, when not in

properly to be compared. While a manifest tendency, at least to the degree of verbcillation requisite to constitute a calyx, evidently takes place in the paleee of Grasses, Sedges are destitute of all trace of such a tendency, unless the opposite connate glumes of the female flowers of Carex, or the hypogynous scales of certain Schosni and others, be considered an approach to the production of a perianth. For this reason, Grasses may be considered plants in a higher state of evolution than

correspondence containing useful facts on the struggle for existence are still together in volume 46(i) of the Darwin Papers at Cambridge. Notes for other chapters of his evolution book are similarly grouped together. Finally he resolved even to select, separate, and sort out the many pages of his early evolution notebooks which had material he might use in his species book. Inside the front cover of Notebook B, the first of them, he wrote: 'All useful pages cut out. Dec. 7/1856.' The other three

GENERAL INTRODUCTION On The Origin of Species was literally only an abstract of the manuscript Darwin had originally intended to complete and publish as the formal presentation of his views on evolution. Compared with the Origin, his original long manuscript work on Natural Selection, which is presented here, has more abundant examples in illustration of Darwin's argument plus an extensive citation of sources. It had reached a length of over one quarter of a million words and was well over

It is valuable as well for the modern student of the evolution of biological thought, whether as scientist or historian; for in giving us his own selective reading list for the preceding century of natural science Darwin has pointed out a pathway offering a representative view of a scientific literature formidably vast for exhaustive examination by

Darwin's text after Romanes had rejected parts at the beginning of the chapter rather than the manuscript in its present complete form. The passages Romanes wove into the text of Mental Evolution come from folios 7 v, 8, 18-20, 24-28, 31-35, 36 v, 38, 43-45, and 48-49 of the manuscript. In Romanes' earlier book, Animal Intelligence (London, 1882), he also quotes from the manuscript.' In addition to these quotations from Darwin's text, he also printed a number of Darwin's footnotes.
