, ont des larves qu'on peut à peine distinguer dans leurs phases successives de développement. Dans le cours de son évolution, l'embryon s'élève généralement par son organisation; j'emploie cette expression, bien que sachant qu'il est à peine possible de définir bien nettement ce qu'on entend par une organisation plus élevée ou plus basse ; toutefois jecrois qu'on ne contestera pas le fait que le papillon ne soit plus élevé que la chenille. Il y a néanmoins des cas où on doit considérer l'animal

Ptérodactyles. Cette conclusion, qui implique d'énormes lacunes et une discontinuité de la série, me paraît improbable au plus haut degré. Les partisans d'une évolution lente et graduelle doivent admettre que des changements spécifiques aient pu être aussi subits et, aussi considérables à l'état de nature qu'une simple variation isolée, comme cela a lieu à l'état domestique. Pourtant les espèces élevées ou cultivées étant bien plus variables que les espèces sauvages, il est peu probable que ces

pas sur d'autres. Enfin, l'embryon peut se développer et périr au commencement de son évolution. Cette dernière alternative n'a pas été l'objet de l'attention qu'elle mérite, car, d'après des observations qui m'ont été communiquées par M. Hewitt, un homme des plus compétents et qui a une grande expérience sur l'hybridi-sation des faisaus et des poules, il paraîtrait que la mort précoce de l'embryon est une des causes les plus fréquentes de la stérilité des premiers croisements.

sterile workers have somewhat different habits and instincts, as shown by their combs. There are also many species of ants, the fertile females of which are believed not themselves to work, but to be served by the neuters, which capture and drag them to their nests; and the instincts of the neuters in the different species of the same genus are often different. All who believe in the principle of evolution will admit that with social insects the closely allied species of the same genus are

A true classification therefore on this view is to be regarded as the final result of the science, and is to be patiently worked out by studying the causes that have determined it. Dr. Kaup's system sweeps away all this, and seeks to impose in its stead, an arbitrary Procrustean plan of

volume I have not made use of the principle of Evolution to explain either the complex Feelings or the complex Intellectual powers. I believe, however, that there is much to be said in behalf of the principle for both applications. In the third edition of 'The Emotions and the Will,' now in preparation, I intend to discuss it at full length. No man can claim to have done more for the study of psychology than Prof. Bain; and in now recognising the principle of evolution and in incorporating it with

The belief that blushing was specially designed by the Creator is opposed to the general theory of evolution, which is now so largely accepted; but it forms no part of my duty here to argue on the general question. Those who believe in design, will find it difficult to account for shyness being the most frequent and efficient of all the causes of blushing, as it makes the [Expression, pp. 337-8: Theory of Blushing.—We have now to consider, why should the thought that others are

Those who do not admit the principle of evolution, must look at species as separate creations, or as in some manner as distinct entities; and they must decide what forms of man they will consider as species by

If we admit the principle of gradual evolution, there must formerly have existed many species which presented every successive step between the wonderfully elongated tail-coverts of the peacock and the short tail-coverts of all ordinary birds; and again between the magnificent ocelli of the former, and the simpler ocelli or mere coloured spots on other birds; and so with all the other characters of the peacock. Let us look to the allied Gallinace for any still-existing gradations. The species
