not lowness, but facility of transport.

p. 30  

Endeavour to show as fewer species are in common (indication of facility of communication) so do the forms become more different.

B does not hold with Birds also [ingest]

Reptiles [make] some exceptions

31. Does not same law hold with forms & species – many the occurrence in intermediate points when they have distant ranges – the extension of range in species of Carnivore & of the forms in the world an example – Owls, Hawks –

p 58    Aquatic Beetles. (near thou from T. del Fuego & Brazil so not same species, though very close analogy) having very wide range analogous to aquatic plants mentioned before (a) & I suspect shells near the Cycles from Valparaiso.

Ascertain the pulse of the very different kinds of dogs – respiration.

Some common cause of transport

p. 73   The existence of the mountains allows much shelter on the profile changes of the marsupial oval & uterine reproduction.

p. 77   America is to the rest of existing world in the size of its quadrupeds, what the latter is to the ancient world with exception Cetacea (with some exceptions adenlala & Rodentia?)

p. 79   Singular both monkeys & opossum have hairy prehensile tails & fossil animals according to Mr Lund. [illeg] America

p. 107 These mummies differ in nothing from recent geological strata & who doubts [illeg] in the cave

p. 112 This agrees with Mr Herbert's law of constitution determining [hydrogenation].

p. 112. Reginald Darwin says that Wild Boar in is little Park produces only two offspring.

p. 115 The non-variation of races in the points specified must be honestly insisted on, for it is against my theory – I doubt its truth however {anyhow tendency to long life once doubtless would become heredity.

p. 153

This predisposition is afterwards shown but surely the philosophical way of looking at them is as a step in the series towards different races not being subject to the same diseases – we see different animals are subject to some the same & some not, - the near species or races of men mainly show predisposition different.

p. 165 Overlooks all differences between wild & tame Ducks & rabbits & fowls – in them heredity instinct.

{403 I suspect he assume much more physiological differences between close species than really exists.

Query

[3 lines crossed: Breeding time pulse respiration of different kinds of dogs, cats, pigs pidgeons & __ Ask Ld Spencer whether differs in varieties :- Copied]

In "Analysis of contents"

Section 4 p. 111

I do not think it is sufficiently shown that no such varieties (physiological) exist in domesticated animals, it is assumed too much there such differences do exist between all close species

Section V

I think it is rather too broadly assumed that crossing widest races of men [formable] to fertility – (the facts of some species of plants being crossed increasing fertility is overlooked.

The extinction of cross-breed rather too broadly though found.

Section 6

Until the action of contagious diseases on close species better known, argument touching men of little value in some difference in predisposition is not denied

p 361 One marvels that the elephant & mouse could have had one parentage yet when we see newfoundland & lapdog – Shetland pony & Drayhorse ( & still more Ceylon Horse if true

I think I might insist the tameness of the Wolf of the Falklands, contrasted with that of a fox; even when bred up with man, a good case of acquired instinct when speaking of domesticated rabbits being born tame, when from wolf that it is not consequence of domestication but of not fearing man- (do tame rabbits fear ferrets??)? then go on to birds

Some birds – owls for instance are like man cosmopolites & do not vary like man became partly probably they interbreed, not having like man hostilities

We certainly may look at it as certain that a peculiarity in transmitted without any relation to the utility of the mammals, or its habits – the propagation of abortion wrong in duck skins that habits of whole life do affect progeny –

Vol 2. The formation of languages from common extinct stock good analogue of species. – The facts here mentioned clearly show that the formation of language is not in a cycle but is a process of unequal rate & therefore probably had a origin.
