, if plants have a brain, or the equivalent of it, directing all their movements, then we suppose, along the line of evolution, the distance between a squash-vine and Mr. Darwin isn't worth talking about. Is that the direction and the aim of the argument

Although these several objections seemed to me to have no weight, yet I resolved to make more observations of the same kind as those published, and to attack the problem on another side; namely, to weigh all the castings thrown up within a given time in a measured space, instead of ascertaining the rate at which objects left on the surface were buried by worms.

évolution graduelle. La sublime croyance à un Dieu n'est pas universelle chez l'homme ; celle à des agents spirituels actifs résulte naturellement de ses autres facultés mentales. C'est le sens moral qui constitue peut-être la ligne de démarcation la plus nette entre l'homme et les autres animaux, mais je n'ai rien à ajouter sur ce point, puisque j'ai essayé de prouver que les instincts sociaux, — base fondamentale de la morale humaine[50], — auxquels viennent s'adjoindre les facultés

The Complete Work of Charles Darwin Online [page] 5 The Power of Movement in Plants. By Charles Darwin, assisted by Francis Darwin. New York: D. Appleton and Company, with illustrations. The author of the theory of evolution has never written a more interesting book than this, his latest work. In his introduction Mr. Darwin explains that the chief object of his book is to describe what he calls the circumnutation of plants,: that is to say, the revolving movements of plants on their stems in

Dans d'autres cas plus rares, il y a formation de deux cavités utérines distinctes, ayant chacune ses passages et ses orifices spéciaux[39].

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
