d'un simple arrêt de développement embryonnaire, avec accroissement subséquent et évolution fonctionnelle complète, car chacun des deux côtés de l'utérus, partiellement double, est apte à servir à l'acte propre de la gestation. Dans d'autres cas plus rares, il y a formation de deux cavités utérines distinctes, ayant chacune ses passages et ses orifices spéciaux[39]. Aucune phase analogue n'étant parcourue dans le développement ordinaire de l'embryon, il serait difficile, quoique non impossible

creation of species by miraculous agency. It is somewhat difficult for those who, like ourselves, have, so to speak, been brought up in the school of evolution to realise the state of mind of pre-Darwinian naturalists with respect to this question of species. The supposed authority of ancient tradition had, without doubt, stultified all enquiry in this direction, and workers intent only upon recording and describing had fallen into a state of intellectual torpor as regards that philosophical

It would indeed be a most interesting study in psychological evolution to compare some of the earliest with some of the later opinions on the Darwinian theory. This is a task which I commend to those who have time an opportunity for collecting materials for such a comparison. Now, in the peace following the strife, it seems perhaps a reversion to ancestral savagery to execute a war-dance over the prostrate bodies of the slain; but, for my own part, acknowledging that as a youth, I fell into

more weighty as coming from one who has himself obtained such a many-sided and profound insight into Nature's laws. But tempting as is this theme, time compels me to refrain from any further reference to contemporary scientific opinions on the Darwinian theory. It will suffice to say, in the words of its illustrious author—''Now things are wholly changed, and almost every naturalist admits the great principle of evolution.''13 On the very last occasion that I had the pleasure of an interview with

Palæontology has enabled many gaps between the most diverse groups of animals to be filled up. What more distinct in external form and mode of life than birds and reptiles? These two classes had, however, long been known to anatomists to be structurally related, and on the principle of evolution the existence of intermediate forms might have been anticipated. In 1862, after Darwin had predicted the existence of such connecting links,16 there was found in the Solenhofen limestone of the Upper Jurassic

Camels and Hyænas have been worked out by Professor Cope20 and M. Gaudry21 respectively. In Palæontology, as in every other branch of Biology, the Darwinian theory has in fact become incorporated as a part of common knowledge; witness the following extracts from the latest text-book of Geology published in this country:—''It must be conceded that on the whole the testimony of the rocks is in favour of the doctrine of evolution. 22 ''But to the palæontologist it is a matter of the utmost

every case of species-transformation there are thus involved two factors, ''the nature of the organism, and the nature of the conditions. 29 It is to Professor Weismann that we owe the first full recognition of the important part played by the organism itself in the process of evolution, but it must be borne in mind that the part thus played is quoad modification, a purely passive one. In connection with the foregoing considerations, there arise the questions of the causes of variability and the

logically admit of any break between the organic and the inorganic worlds, and although, as I wish most strongly to emphasise, there is no necessary connection between Darwin's teachings and a belief in so-called ''spontaneous generation, it seems to me that if we accept evolution in its broadest meaning we are compelled to admit, with Lamarck and Haeckel, that at former periods, or possibly even at the present time, the very lowest beginnings of life have been or are being evolved by the

throughout the vegetable kingdom, and occasionally from the light, ,or transversely with respect to it, are all modified forms of circumnutation; as again are the equally prevalent movements of stems, etc., towards the zenith, and of roots towards the center of the earth. In accordance with these conclusions, a considerable difficulty in the way of evolution is in part removed, for it might have been asked, How did all their diversified movements for the most different purposes first arise?

There is one feature in Mr Darwin's character especially essential to a naturalist; and which he possesses in pre-eminent degree. I mean the quality of patient observation.

natural research, Dr. Darwin is not merely the model scientist of the age, but one of the greatest men of the century. The present work will not create any especial excitement, because the novelty of the general cause which he has made his own, and to which his name has been given, has worn off. It is also a fact that other workers have preceded and accompanied him in the same paths. But the investigations are, nevertheless, of the highest importance to our ideas of the evolution of life upon the

. Butler insinuates that Mr. Darwin caused my essay on Dr. Erasmus Darwin to be translated simply in order to throw discredit on his work, Evolution, Old and New (Op. 4), which was published in May, 1879. Upon this point I have to observe that Mr. Darwin informed me of his desire to have my essay published in English more than two months before the appearance of Mr. Butler's book; that the translation did not appear earlier is due to the fact that I asked for a delay in order that I might be able
