DARWIN'S Origin of Species (1859) was preceded by his work on geology and his work on Cirripedia, both of which may be considered to lead to the Origin, thereafter his attention turned to the Fertilisation of Orchids (1862) and Climbing Plants (1865), Variation under Domestication (1868) and the Descent of Man (1871). After these books, DARWIN turns away from the subject of evolution, although some of his subsequent works show a casual interest in the topic. His attention turns to The

this expression. Other naturalists maintain, with greater probability and distinctness of view, that the common bond of connection between the several foregoing cases is an actual, though partial, return to the structure of the ancient progenitor of the group. If this view be correct, we must believe that a vast number of characters, capable of evolution, lie hidden in every organic being. But it would be a mistake to suppose that the number is equally great in all beings. We know, for instance

little matter; but taken in its full bearings on the modern doctrine of evolution, its importance is overwhelming. Throughout the book, however, this is placed nowhere to the front. Confining himself to the mere fact, Mr. Darwin has worked out its extremest details, regardless, in the truest spirit of science, of what they might lead up to. Bearing in mind that he is himself the father of evolution, the unprejudiced reader cannot but feel that the modesty of this book is far from being its least

upon them almost convincing us that the force of habit in certain of them is nearly analogous to instinct. This book contains more than 200 pages, and in lively interest is equal to that on Insectivorous Plants. Had only these two volumes appeared last year, they would have left their mark on our scientific literature. And there can be no doubt whatever they will largely influence the spread of the doctrine of evolution, which alone among extant theories is able to account for those singular

of evolution, time and future experiments alone can determine. Meanwhile, to all who are interested in the subtle agencies by which life is supported in plant or animal, Mr. Darwin's book offers a most attractive field for study. Whether mechanically or by its own volition it is not necessary at present to determine, but the fact is indisputable that certain growths, vegetable to all outward appearances, ensnare, enclose and digest or absorb living insects, and also by a similar action of the

Dr. Lionel Beale ('Nature,' May 11, 1871, p. 26) sneers at the whole doctrine with much acerbity and some justice. Prof. Wigand ('Schriften der Gesell. der gesammt.

this conclusively. It is not what we should at first sight have expected, especially in the Dionoea, but deeper consideration shows that it is just what ought to be, and that it is another of our author's great discoveries in support of evolution. In the individual, nerve-tissue is developed from ordinary protoplasm, and in the lower orders of animal life, as in crustaceans, ordinary non-specialised protoplasm must, in greater part, serve for nerve-functions. Thus, when we get to a still earlier

light it throws on the problem of evolution, which has been so ably discussed before you by Prof. Morse, and which has occupied so much attention since Darwin's great work on species. Before the gathering of such materials as those to which I have referred, evolution was more a matter of speculation and argument, though we who adhered to the doctrine had good grounds for our belief. Now things are changed, and it has become a matter of fact and history as much as the monuments of Egypt. In

that some did then believe in evolution, but they were either silent, or expressed themselves so ambiguously that it was not easy to understand their meaning. Now things are wholly changed, and almost every naturalist admits the great principle of evolution. There are, however, some who still think that species have suddenly given birth, through quite unexplained means, to new and totally different forms: but, as I have attempted to show, weighty evidence can be opposed to the admission of great

Well, now, I begin to ask him one question regarding this assertion. What will be the probable evolution next of man as he has arrived at a position beyond all his progenitors of being erect, with his face capable of looking up to adore God?

found useful to zoologists; for it really involves a fundamental problem in the theory of evolution. The question we have to answer, is, firstly whether the distribution of plants is, like that of animals, mainly and primarily dependent on the past revolutions of the earth's surface; or, whether other, and altogether distinct causes, have had a preponderating influence in determining the range and limits of vegetable forms; and, secondly whether those revolutions have been, in their general
