important organs of the body (such as the brain and heart) imperfectly or not at all developed. This animal seems to have been more like the larvæ of the existing marine Ascidians than any other known form. The high standard of our intellectual powers and moral disposition is the greatest difficulty which presents itself, after we have been driven to this conclusion on the origin of man. But every one who admits the principle of evolution, must see that the mental powers of the higher animals

We have now Mr. DARWIN'S biographical sketch before us, and we must confess to being somewhat disappointed with it. As it may, however, prove a useful guide and afford some valuable hints to parents who are anxious to test Mr. DARWIN'S theory of evolution for themselves, we conceive that we shall be rendering a public service by offering a few comments upon it.

connected with various important physiological problems, such as the benefit derived from slight changes in the conditions of life, and this stands in the closest connection with life itself. It throws light on the origin of the two sexes, and on their separation or union in the same individual, and lastly on the whole subject of hybridism, which is one of the greatest obstacles to the general acceptance and progress of the great principle of evolution.

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 the 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

; it attracted but little public attention, and they soon passed into oblivion. A generation had passed away ere the theory of evolution began to attract more attention in the Netherlands. The impulse was given by the appearance of the well-known work, Vestiges of the Natural History of Creation, of which a Dutch translation was published in 1849 by Dr. T. H. van den Broek, Professor of Chemistry at the Military Medical College in Utrecht, with an introductory preface by the celebrated chemist

series of experiments with artificial-cultures as a means of changing forms and had entered into correspondence on this matter with Gilbert, a well-known chemist from Rothamsted. At about the same time he conceived with amazing penetration his experiments in obtaining artificial plant growth (in nuts, etc.) and methods of experimental study of the laws of evolution. In the 30 years since that time no progress has been made on that matter. I mentioned this as proof that Darwin constantly, and more par

Darwin, writing under a preconceived idea which had been decided in advance, had only undertaken this research in the hope of supporting with new considerations the hypothesis of the evolution and of the descent of man from a certain form. animal, and he applauds himself for having succeeded. May well do it to him. But evolution itself has already evolved enough to soon be absurd
