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

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

. 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

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

dull, its life above or below ground, they all appeared to be, so to speak, on respectful terms with it, because it lived. 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

CHAPTER XVIII. DARWINISM. The Coining of the Word—What it Means—Its Relation to Evolution — The Survival of the Fittest — The Struggle for Existence —The Descent—Examples of Evolution. THE scientific labours of Darwin have resulted in the addition of a new word — Darwinism — to the English language,— indeed, to that of the world. Literally, Darwinism is Charles Darwin's explanation of the law or method of evolution. To enable the reader to obtain a clear understanding of what was, in reality
