in order that a new species should suddenly appear in the manner supposed by Mr. Mivart, it is almost necessary to believe, in opposition to all analogy, that several wonderfully changed individuals appeared simultaneously within the same district. This difficulty, as in the case of unconscious selection by man, is avoided on the theory of gradual evolution, through the preservation of a large number of individuals, which varied more or less in any favourable direction, and of the destruction of

is a strong disbeliever in evolution, but he appears to have been so much struck by the imperfect instincts of the Molothrus bonariensis that he quotes my words, and asks, Must we consider these habits, not as especially endowed or created instincts, but as small consequences of one general law, namely, transition? Various birds, as has already been remarked, occasionally lay their eggs in the nests of other birds. This habit is not very uncommon with the Gallinace , and throws some light on

Tant que j'ignorais ces faits, je n'étais pas disposé à croire à la fréquence de la mort précoce des embryons hybrides ; car ceux-ci, une fois nés, font généralement preuve de vigueur et de longévité; le mulet, par exemple. Mais les circonstances où se trouvent les hybrides, avant et après leur naissance, sont bien différentes ; ils sont généralement placés

attitude of opposition to Darwinian views may now be numbered on the fingers of a hand, whilst the rising school of thought is almost unanimous in favour of the doctrine of evolution. Very much of the opposition which the views contained in the Origin of Species had to encounter, leaving out of question, of course, the class opposition which was to be expected, was due to the absence of the details of the facts upon which those views were based, an absence which was rendered necessary by the hastened

factor of selection is brought to bear, either by natural agencies or by the conventional selection of man. Mr. Darwin's writing on this subject may be said to be his best and most important, though it is really difficult in a book like this to speak more highly of any one part than of the whole. Of artificial selection we need say no more here, but on the process of the evolution of new characters by natural selection, a word or two may be said on a certain want of definition in the use of a

distinguished botanists have studied the subject with painstaking fidelity, illuminating it with many curious facts not previously discovered. To improve the value of his paper by incorporating into it the latest information gained by himself and others, has been the purpose of Mr. Darwin in the work of revision; but the chief object has apparently been to apply its conclusions anew to the question of evolution. In accumulating the data on which his essay is based, Mr. Darwin investigated the

shall not attempt to detail the various observations that are given, but some of the conclusions deduced from them are worthy of outline, especially as Mr. Darwin regards many cases mentioned in the body of the work as illustrating in a striking manner the principle of the gradual evolution of species.

At the present day, when the whole range of biological thought is so largely permeated by the principles of the doctrine of evolution, this objection will probably not be advanced. Yet, when it is remembered that such an authority as Col. Hamilton Smith held the belief that each breed of dog had

Organic beings resemble each other in descending degrees, so that they can be classed in groups under groups,─classes, orders, genera, c. The doctrine of evolution gives life to this arrangement and makes it truly a natural classification,-the idea of different degrees of community of descent being added to that of

In specimens in which the Nummuline layer constituting the ' proper wall' of the chambers was originally well preserved, and in which the decalcifying process has been carefully managed (so as not by too rapid evolution of carbonic-acid gas to disturb the arrangement of the serpentinous residuum), that layer is represented by a thin white film covering the exposed surfaces of the segments, the superficial aspect of which as well as its

Francis Darwin writes to the Star: Down, Beckenham, Kent, Jan. 4, 1877.- Dear Sir,-My father directs me to thank you for your account of the alleged discovery in New Ireland. My father does not believe in the existence of tailed men, but, even if it should, prove true, it would (as a mere inherited monstrosity) have no important bearing on evolution. Yours faithfully, FRANCIS DARWIN
