heredity of effects produced by use or disuse, and explains them much in the same manner as does Weismann. Galton is an anthropologist, and applies the theory, mainly, to explain the peculiarities of hereditary transmission in man, many of which peculiarities he discusses and elucidates. Weismann is a biologist, and is mostly concerned with the application of the theory to explain variation and instinct, and to the further development of the theory of evolution. He has worked it out more thoroughly

harmony between the organism and its slowly changing environment.1 1 There are many indications that this explanation of the cause of variation is the true one. Mr. E. B. Poulton suggests one, in the fact that partheno-genetic reproduction only occurs in isolated species, not in groups of related species; as this shows that parthenogenesis cannot lead to the evolution of new forms. Again, in parthenogenetic females the complete apparatus for fertilisation remains unreduced; but if these varied

The Complete Work of Charles Darwin Online [page] 7 A Naturalist's Voyage Around the World is the title of a new edition of a work by Darwin, the celebrated teacher of evolution. The voyage was made many years ago on the British Naval ship Beagle. It was one of the most fruitful expeditions, from the stand-point of science, upon which a man ever embarked: and the store of facts that Darwin took back to England after this long cruise was a noteworthy addition to those two departments of science

for the sake of expression, he seems never to have reflected on the principle of evolution. He apparently looks at each species as a separate creation. So it is with the other writers on Expression. For instance, Dr. Duchenne, after speaking of the movements of the limbs, refers to those which give expression to the face, and remarks:19 Le cr ateur n'a done pas eu se pr occuper ici des besoins de la m canique; il a pu, selon sa sagesse, ou que l'on me pardonne cette mani re de parler par une

evolution, or of the derivation of species from other and lower forms. Consequently, when I read Sir C. Bell's great work, his view, that man had been created with certain muscles specially adapted for the expression of his feelings, struck me as unsatisfactory. It seemed probable that the habit of expressing our feelings by certain movements, though now rendered innate, had been in some manner gradually acquired. But to discover how such habits had been acquired was perplexing in no small

cases with mankind in the inheritance of tricks or unusual gestures, to which we shall presently recur. To those who admit the gradual evolution of species, a most striking instance of the perfection with which the most difficult consensual movements can be transmitted, is afforded by the humming-bird Sphinx-moth (Macroglossa); for this moth, shortly after its emergence from the cocoon, as shown by the bloom on its unruffled scales, may be seen poised stationary in the air, with its long hair

CRITICAL INTRODUCTION. A SCIENTIFIC discovery is the outcome of an interesting process of evolution in the mind of its author. When we are able to detect the germs of thought in which such a discovery has originated, and to trace the successive stages of the reasoning by which the crude idea has developed into an epoch-making book, we have the materials for reconstructing an important chapter of scientific history. Such a contribution to the story of the making of science may be furnished in

the eyes and body. 3 [Mr. H. Holbeach ('St. Paul's Magazine,' Feb. 1873, p. 202) suggests that when the head is lifted upwards and backwards in order to give the feeling of as much distance in the way of height as possible being placed between the despiser and the despised, the eyelids partake of the general movement, and the eyes are made to look down upon the object of contempt. Professor Cleland gives a similar explanation in his 'Evolution, [page break

. A peacock or a turkey-cock strutting about with puffed-up feathers, is sometimes said to be an emblem of pride.20 The arrogant man looks down on others, and with lowered eyelids hardly condescends to see them; or he may show his contempt by slight movements, such as those before described, about the nostrils or lips. Hence the muscle which everts the lower lip has been called the musculus 18 'Principles of Psychology,' 2nd edit. 1872, p. 552. 19 [Professor Cleland ('Evolution, Expression and

['Now, as it is in the natural order of things that the most intelligent social being will also be the most expressive, the capacity to blush and to turn pale, which distinguishes man, is a natural sign of his high perfection.'] The belief that blushing was specially designed by the Creator is opposed to the general theory of evolution, which is now so largely accepted; but it forms no part of my duty here to argue on the general

in turn, led to the still wider and more suggestive conclusion that the geological record as a whole is, and never can be more than, a series of more or less isolated fragments. The recognition of this important fact constitutes the keystone to any theory of evolution which seeks to find a basis in the actual study of the types of life that have formerly inhabited our globe. In his third chapter, Darwin gives a number of interesting facts, collected during his visits to the plains and valleys

Mr. Darwin was always very much alive to what the world said, not of him, but of the evolution theory. Anything that appeared in the public prints Mrs. Darwin would collect and read to him. Once when we were sitting under the garden veranda, the peculiarity of which was a glass roof, that all the timid rays of the English winter sun might be enjoyed, Mr. Darwin told us that had
