| 395.794 | or by chance picked out extraordinarily | abnormal species; and further, that these very |

I know of no case |
| 1245.998 | species. Thus, the bat's wing is a most | abnormal structure in the class mammalia; but |
| 1267.149 | to doubt. Hence when an organ, however | abnormal it may be, has been transmitted in |
| 1966.713 | and, as we have seen, in certain | abnormal cases, even to an excess of fertility |
| 1992.648 | between their parents, exceptional and | abnormal individuals sometimes are born, which |

| 333.674 | In many cases we do not know what the | aboriginal stock was, and so could not tell |
| 337.529 | or even wholly, revert to the wild | aboriginal stock. Whether or not the experiment |
| 359.482 | these had descended from a different | aboriginal stock from our European cattle; and |
| 365.70 | our several domestic races from several | aboriginal stocks, has been carried to an absurd |
| 365.1535 | been produced by the crossing of a few | aboriginal species; but by crossing we can get |
| 389.607 | descended from at least seven or eight | aboriginal stocks; for it is impossible to make |
| 389.879 | enormous crop? The supposed | aboriginal stocks must all have been rock-pigeons |
| 389.1184 | the domestic breeds. Hence the supposed | aboriginal stocks must either still exist in the |
| 399.1629 | firstly, that all the several imagined | aboriginal stocks were coloured and marked like |
| 443.196 | produced by a single variation from the | aboriginal stock. We have proofs that this is not |

| 1956.750 | me greatly doubt, whether the several | aboriginal species would at first have freely bred |
| 2305.201 | from a single stock or from several | aboriginal stocks; or, again, whether certain sea |

| 1743.252 | Another day my attention was struck by | about a score of the slave-makers haunting |
| 1747.1123 | F. flava, and quickly ran away; but in | about a quarter of an hour, shortly after all |
| 1749.259 | file burthened with booty, for | about forty yards, to a very thick clump of |
| 1749.553 | individuals of F. fusca were rushing | about in the greatest agitation, and one was |
| 1787.414 | true or parts of a sphere, and of | about the diameter of a cell. It was most |
| 1787.694 | acquired the above stated width (i.e. | about the width of an ordinary cell), and |
| 1787.750 | of an ordinary cell), and were in depth | about one sixth of the diameter of the sphere |
| 1807.1292 | hexagonal walls, which are only | about one four-hundredth of an inch in |
| 1807.1382 | the plates of the pyramidal basis being | about twice as thick. By this singular manner |
| 1914.965 | doubted; for Gärtner gives in his table | about a score of cases of plants which he |
| 2171.450 | reduced in size they can be rolled | about by the waves, and then are more quickly |
| 2171.720 | abraded and how seldom they are rolled | about! Moreover, if we follow for a few miles |
| 2213.201 | the northern to the southern Downs is | about 22 miles, and the thickness of the |
| 2213.278 | the several formations is on an average | about 1100 feet, as I am informed by Prof |

| 1737.669 | sanguinea. The slaves are black and not | above half the size of their red masters, so |
| 1787.669 | by the time the basins had acquired the | above stated width (i.e. about the width of |
| 2213.528 | in thinner masses than elsewhere, the | above estimate would be erroneous; but this |
| 2217.95 | ample allowance. At this rate, on the | above data, the denudation of the Weald must |
| 2219.145 | great, but it would somewhat reduce the | above estimate. On the other hand, during |
| 2285.1170 | with ancient root-bearing strata, one | above the other, at no less than sixty-eight |
| 2389.384 | On this view, the difficulties | above discussed are greatly diminished, or |
| 2472.630 | which occur in the formations either | above or below, are similarly absent at these |

| 2536.955 | or geological formations-for instance, | above No. VI.—but none from beneath this line |
| 2550.413 | in character between the forms of life | above and below. We must, however, allow for |
| 2590.466 | and I have shown in the publications | above alluded to, that in America the law of |
| 2717.1156 | two days, when dried they floated for | above 90 days, and afterwards germinated |
| 2717.1252 | of the 94 dried plants, 18 floated for | above 28 days, and some of the 18 floated for |

| 970.437 | and distinct species. Nevertheless, | according to my view, varieties are species in |

| 1042.256 | varieties (w10 and z10) or two species, | according to the amount of change supposed to be |

| 2500.141 | forms of life throughout the world, | accords well with the principle of new species |

This difficulty |
| 2173.603 | to show how slowly the mass has been | accumulated. Let him remember Lyell's profound |
| 2213.478 | sedimentary deposits might have | accumulated in thinner masses than elsewhere, the |
| 2235.887 | forms of life, had elsewhere been | accumulated. And if in each separate territory |
| 2243.55 | safely conclude that sediment must be | accumulated in extremely thick, solid, or extensive |
| 2247.286 | which then existed; or, sediment may be | accumulated to any thickness and extent over a |
| 2249.348 | has come to the conclusion that it was | accumulated during subsidence. I may add, that the |
| 2255.157 | thick deposits could not have been | accumulated in the shallow parts, which are the |
| 2255.364 | accurately, the beds which were then | accumulated will have been destroyed by being |

| 2285.370 | required an enormous period for their | accumulation; yet no one ignorant of this fact would |
| 2285.741 | intervals have occurred in its | accumulation. In other cases we have the plainest |
| 2317.152 | together with a contemporaneous | accumulation of sediment, would exceed the average |
| 2335.113 | cases than the time required for the | accumulation of each formation. These intervals will |

We shall, perhaps, best |
| 1833.339 | that they could hardly have been | acted on by natural selection; cases of |

| 3434.57 | reason why the principles which have | acted so efficiently under domestication |
| 3434.114 | under domestication should not have | acted under nature. In the preservation of |

| 295.907 | by unperceived causes as to fail in | acting, we need not be surprised at this |

| 1871.65 | I believe that natural selection, by | acting on the fertile parents, could form a |
| 2626.506 | produced by the laws of variation still | acting round us, and preserved by Natural |

| 515.119 | that the conditions of life, from their | action on the reproductive system, are so far |
| 515.601 | may be attributed to the direct | action of the conditions of life. Something |
| 515.1732 | I am convinced that the accumulative | action of Selection, whether applied |

| 641.1529 | see, is a power incessantly ready for | action, and is as immeasurably superior to man |
| 689.417 | mortality from epidemics with man. The | action of climate seems at first sight to be |
| 693.405 | the whole effect to its direct | action. But this is a very false view: we |
| 693.1323 | forms, due to the directly injurious | action of climate, than we do in proceeding |

| 976.1221 | then, we see in man's productions the | action of what may be called the principle of |

| 1133.116 | of it to attribute to the accumulative | action of natural selection, and how much to |
| 1133.516 | generations, and how much to the direct | action of the severe climate? for it would |
| 1133.595 | appear that climate has some direct | action on the hair of our domestic quadrupeds |
| 1139.270 | to lay very little weight on the direct | action of the conditions of life. Indirectly |

If we suppose any habitual | action to become inherited-and I think it can |

| 2038.378 | in the development, or periodical | action, or mutual relation of the different |
| 2173.32 | base.
He who most closely studies the | action of the sea on our shores, will, I |
| 2205.564 | been so completely planed down by the | action of the sea, that no trace of these vast |

| 2241.1188 | rising of the land within the grinding | action of the coast-waves.
We may, I think |
| 2243.151 | in order to withstand the incessant | action of the waves, when first upraised and |
| 2367.1134 | or obliterated by metamorphic | action, we ought to find only small remnants |
| 2379.1693 | have undergone far more metamorphic | action than strata which have always remained |
| 2466.474 | and that some check is always in | action, yet seldom perceived by us, the whole |
| 2663.669 | of the former immigrants;—and on their | action and reaction, in their mutual struggles |
| 2713.496 | far seeds could resist the injurious | action of sea-water. To my surprise I found |
| 2723.472 | of their resistance to the injurious | action of the salt-water. On the other hand he |

Hence I look at individual |

| 250.653 | which most justly excites our | admiration. Naturalists continually refer to |
| 1763.300 | to its end, without enthusiastic | admiration. We hear from mathematicians that bees |
6 | | | admire | |
| 976.281 | that "fanciers do not and will not | admire a medium standard, but like extremes |
| 1604.334 | the eye. If our reason leads us to | admire with enthusiasm a multitude of |
| 1606.619 | the death of some few members. If we | admire the truly wonderful power of scent by |
| 1606.723 | many insects find their females, can we | admire the production for this single purpose |
| 1606.971 | It may be difficult, but we ought to | admire the savage instinctive hatred of the |
| 1610.289 | principle of natural selection. If we | admire the several ingenious contrivances, by |
4 | | | admission | |
| 566.754 | much variation,—and the truth of this | admission will often be disputed by other |
| 1552.470 | non facit saltum." We meet with this | admission in the writings of almost every |

| 2711.864 | volcanic composition favour the | admission that they are the wrecks of sunken |
35 | | | admit | |
| 365.816 | breeds of cattle, sheep, &c., we must | admit that many domestic breeds have |
| 365.1105 | dogs of the whole world, which I fully | admit have probably descended from several |
| 369.64 | domestic races by this process, we must | admit the former existence of the most |
| 423.1157 | links in the long lines of descent, yet | admit that many of our domestic races have |
| 645.500 | knowledge. Nothing is easier than to | admit in words the truth of the universal |
| 948.70 | act with extreme slowness, I fully | admit. Its action depends on there being |
| 1351.514 | but other species of the genus. To | admit this view is, as it seems to me, to |
| 1508.202 | not to hesitate to go further, and to | admit that a structure even as perfect as the |
| 1528.134 | to the swimbladder. All physiologists | admit that the swimbladder is homologous, or |
| 1580.1787 | breeds, which nevertheless we generally | admit to have arisen through ordinary |
| 1586.395 | fatal to my theory. Yet I fully | admit that many structures are of no direct |
| 1859.117 | of natural selection, when I do not | admit that such wonderful and well |
| 2006.572 | a specially endowed quality, but will | admit that it is incidental on differences in |
| 2054.315 | perfectly fertile offspring. I fully | admit that this is almost invariably the case |
| 2165.631 | in natural science, yet does not | admit how incomprehensibly vast have been the |
| 2227.310 | a most erroneous view, when we tacitly | admit to ourselves that sediment is being |
| 2426.525 | opposed to such views as I maintain) | admit its truth; and the rule strictly |
| 2450.122 | I published in 1845, namely, that to | admit that species generally become rare |
| 2450.312 | ceases to exist, is much the same as to | admit that sickness in the individual is the |
| 2526.134 | members of the same classes, we must | admit that there is some truth in the remark |
| 2707.1096 | intervening oceanic islands. I freely | admit the former existence of many islands |
| 2817.517 | to the contrary, we may at least | admit as probable that the glacial action was |
| 2916.378 | already stated that I cannot honestly | admit Forbes's view on continental extensions |
| 2918.435 | Hope or in Australia, we must, I think, | admit that something quite independently of |
| 2922.352 | of each separate species, will have to | admit, that a sufficient number of the best |
| 3378.599 | great, cannot be considered real if we | admit the following propositions, namely |
| 3418.204 | geological record is imperfect all will | admit; but that it is imperfect to the degree |
| 3418.291 | I require, few will be inclined to | admit. If we look to long enough intervals of |

If we | admit that the geological record is imperfect |
| 3498.44 | to geographical distribution, if we | admit that there has been during the long |
| 3532.52 | cause of our natural unwillingness to | admit that one species has given birth to |
| 3540.268 | a strange conclusion to arrive at. They | admit that a multitude of forms, which till |
| 3540.522 | feature of true species,—they | admit that these have been produced by |
| 3540.821 | those produced by secondary laws. They | admit variation as a vera causa in one case |
| 3558.1064 | as those naturalists treat genera, who | admit that genera are merely artificial |
5 | | | admits | |
| 2088.173 | more variable than hybrids; but Gärtner | admits that hybrids from species which have |
| 2088.354 | instances of this fact. Gärtner further | admits that hybrids between very closely |
| 2918.139 | continental areas: Alph. de Candolle | admits this for plants, and Wollaston for |
| 2922.277 | many native productions. He who | admits the doctrine of the creation of each |
| 3442.729 | his domestic productions; and every one | admits that there are at least individual |
26 | | | admitted | |
| 325.751 | and commoner deviations may be freely | admitted to be inheritable. Perhaps the correct |
| 343.734 | a state of nature. I think this must be | admitted, when we find that there are hardly any |
| 552.740 | or Ireland, be sufficient? It must be | admitted that many forms, considered by highly |
| 635.597 | of any well-marked varieties be | admitted. But the mere existence of individual |
| 1281.94 | two other remarks. I think it will be | admitted, without my entering on details, that |
| 1281.212 | very variable; I think it also will be | admitted that species of the same group differ |
| 1596.416 | which seems to me of any weight. It is | admitted that the rattlesnake has a poison-fang |
| 1663.23 | thus acquired.
It will be universally | admitted that instincts are as important as |
| 1713.19 | known instincts.
It is now commonly | admitted that the more immediate and final cause |
| 2209.106 | of the Weald. Though it must be | admitted that the denudation of the Weald has |
| 2223.112 | collections are very imperfect, is | admitted by every one. The remark of that |
| 2596.237 | This cannot for an instant be | admitted. These huge animals have become wholly |
| 2677.651 | agency of a miracle. It is universally | admitted, that in most cases the area inhabited |
| 2707.451 | by Forbes are to be trusted, it must be | admitted that scarcely a single island exists |
| 2707.1413 | over them. Whenever it is fully | admitted, as I believe it will some day be, that |
| 2711.606 | on the view advanced by Forbes and | admitted by his many followers. The nature and |
| 2817.774 | extremity of the continent. If this be | admitted, it is difficult to avoid believing |

| 804.1440 | So, conversely, modifications in the | adult will probably often affect the |
| 1090.1189 | egg, seed, or young, as easily as the | adult. Amongst many animals, sexual selection |
| 1197.484 | concluded, affect the structure of the | adult; in the same manner as any |
| 1197.609 | affects the whole organisation of the | adult. The several parts of the body which |
| 2576.646 | I shall attempt to show that the | adult differs from its embryo, owing to |
| 2576.924 | more and more difference to the | adult.
Thus the embryo comes to be left as a |
| 3103.108 | importance with those derived from the | adult, for our classifications of course |
| 3103.327 | for this purpose than that of the | adult, which alone plays its full part in the |
| 3141.396 | of certain cirripedes, when | adult, and yet no one dreams of separating |
| 3141.592 | may differ from each other and from the | adult; as he likewise includes the so-called |
| 3247.316 | as perfect and as beautiful as in the | adult animal. From such special adaptations |
| 3247.605 | more, from each other than do their | adult parents. In most cases, however, the |
| 3255.85 | in structure between the embryo and the | adult, and likewise a close similarity in the |
| 3255.644 | at any period differ widely from the | adult: thus Owen has remarked in regard to |
| 3257.155 | in structure between the embryo and the | adult;—of parts in the same indivividual |
| 3281.231 | almost exactly as much as in the | adult state.
The two principles above given |
| 3295.1628 | to be the case with cirripedes. The | adult might become fitted for sites or habits |
| 3301.526 | for classification than that of the | adult. For the embryo is the animal in its |
| 3301.1099 | however much the structure of the | adult may have been modified and obscured; we |
| 3329.119 | parts in the embryo, than in the | adult; so that the organ at this early age is |
| 3329.279 | Hence, also, a rudimentary organ in the | adult, is often said to have retained its |
| 3343.596 | and their lesser relative size in the | adult. But if each step of the process of |
| 3359.499 | parts or organs, though fitted in the | adult members for purposes as different as |
| 3518.928 | alike, and should be so unlike the | adult forms. We may cease marvelling at the |
2 | | | adults | |
| 2892.371 | killed by sea water, as are the | adults. I could not even understand how some |
| 3289.130 | other much more closely than do the | adults, just as we have seen in the case of |

68 | | | again | |
| 393.377 | of them must have been carried back | again into their native country; but not one |
| 393.575 | has become feral in several places. | Again, all recent experience shows that it is |

| 532.0 | the form would be called a variety.
| Again, we have many slight differences which |
| 568.224 | arrive at the rank of species; or, | again, between sub-species and well-marked |
| 578.317 | fluctuating forms. The term variety, | again, in comparison with mere individual |
| 590.344 | on the side of the larger genera. This, | again, might have been anticipated; for the |
| 590.1179 | the genera to which the species belong. | Again, plants low in the scale of |
| 594.78 | plants higher in the scale; and here | again there is no close relation to the size |
| 641.0 | in every part of the organic world.
| Again, it may be asked, how is it that |
| 717.71 | of South America) the vegetation: this | again would largely affect the insects; and |

| 946.560 | of the renewed continent will | again be changed; and again there will be a |
| 946.582 | continent will again be changed; and | again there will be a fair field for natural |
| 970.1083 | and the offspring of this variety | again to differ from its parent in the very |

the conditions of life must act. | Again, innumerable instances are known to |
| 1173.696 | a tropical climate, or conversely. So | again, many succulent plants cannot endure a |

| 1205.567 | the future colour of their plumage; or, | again, the relation between the hair and |
| 1219.527 | in some necessary manner. So, | again, I do not doubt that some apparent |
| 1287.698 | in the two sexes of the same species: | again in fossorial hymenoptera, the manner of |
| 1516.422 | there has been much extinction. Or | again, if we look to an organ common to all |
| 1580.882 | increase the size of the chest; and | again correlation would come into play |
| 1586.764 | changes of no direct use. So | again characters which formerly were useful |
| 1671.0 | can be shown to occur in nature.
| Again as in the case of corporeal structure |
| 1675.1356 | weaker bodily structure of others. So | again, in some few cases, certain instincts |
| 1795.754 | to go on working for a short time, and | again examined the cell, and I found that the |
| 1825.1583 | cells, and much wax would be saved. | Again, from the same cause, it would be |

| 1843.139 | offspring, which again varied and were | again selected, and so onwards. But with the |
| 1944.940 | hybrids, should be perfectly fertile. | Again, with respect to the fertility in |

| 2299.1040 | and ultimately to new species; and this | again would greatly lessen the chance of our |

| 2729.557 | of the accuracy of this observation. | Again, I can show that the carcasses of birds |
| 2928.1011 | little liable to modification. Madeira, | again, is inhabited by a wonderful number of |

| Again, no one will say that rudimentary or |

| 3247.969 | the case in an unmistakeable manner. So | again the two main divisions of cirripedes |
| 3251.457 | parasitic crustaceans. To refer once | again to cirripedes: the larvæ in the first |

| 2954.317 | of the same mammiferous species or of | allied species in a more or less modified |
| 2954.709 | and they are inhabited by closely | allied or identical quadrupeds. No doubt some |

| 3109.387 | at both ends, from being plainly | allied to others, and these to others, and so |
| 3111.150 | in very large groups of closely | allied forms. Temminck insists on the utility |

| 3119.291 | the several branches or groups, though | allied in the same degree in blood to their |
| 3119.729 | suppose the letters A to L to represent | allied genera, which lived during the Silurian |
| 3135.1611 | keep the forms together which were | allied in the greatest number of points. In |
| 3139.298 | are kept in the same group, because | allied in blood and alike in some other |
| 3239.864 | birds of the same genus, and of closely | allied genera, often resemble each other in |
| 3247.410 | of the larvæ or active embryos of | allied animals is sometimes much obscured; and |
| 3271.343 | are really varieties most closely | allied, and have probably descended from |
| 3323.151 | in other respects. Moreover, in closely | allied species, the degree to which the same |
| 3351.805 | which are considered by naturalists as | allied, together with their modification |
| 3404.318 | another district occupied by a closely | allied species, we have no just right to |
| 3404.712 | will be liable to be supplanted by the | allied forms on either hand; and the latter |
| 3406.558 | theory. Why, again, do whole groups of | allied species appear, though certainly they |
| 3454.583 | species of smaller genera. The closely | allied species also of the larger genera |
| 3484.843 | we can understand how it is that | allied species, when placed under considerably |
| 3496.698 | intermediate between existing and | allied groups. Recent forms are generally |
| 3496.1012 | the law of the long endurance of | allied forms on the same continent,—of |

| 2787.862 | that under the Polar Circle there is | almost continuous land from western Europe |
| 2789.389 | same plants and animals inhabited the | almost continuous circumpolar land; and that |
| 2793.742 | the Old and New Worlds will have been | almost continuously united by land, serving as |
| 2813.161 | the world. But we have good evidence in | almost every case, that the epoch was included |

| 3275.206 | and this, judging by the eye, seemed | almost to be the case; but on actually |
| 3281.198 | other breeds, in all its proportions, | almost exactly as much as in the adult state |
| 3384.20 | can be mastered.
With respect to the | almost universal sterility of species when |

Many bees are parasitic, and | always lay their eggs in the nests of bees of |

| 1803.179 | correct; the first commencement having | always been a little hood of wax; but I will |
| 1807.500 | which the bees build is curious; they | always make the first rough wall from ten to |

| 1807.1035 | thin wall steadily growing upward; but | always crowned by a gigantic coping. From all |

| 1851.280 | I do not doubt that a breed of cattle, | always yielding oxen with extraordinarily long |
| 1883.597 | hand, the fact that instincts are not | always absolutely perfect and are liable to |
| 1914.298 | there is any degree of sterility. He | always compares the maximum number of seeds |
| 1936.351 | it during several subsequent years, and | always with the same result. This result has |
| 1974.217 | innately variable; for it is not | always the same when the same two species are |
| 1992.381 | character between their two parents, | always closely resemble one of them; and such |
| 1992.768 | parents; and these hybrids are almost | always utterly sterile, even when the other |
| 1994.453 | variable. That it is by no means | always the same in degree in the first cross |
| 1994.748 | cross between any two species is not | always governed by their systematic affinity |
| 2006.1101 | to widely different climates, does not | always prevent the two grafting together. As |
| 2046.796 | kept under the same conditions of life, | always induces weakness and sterility in the |
| 2078.558 | crossed with the Nicotiana glutinosa, | always yielded hybrids not so sterile as those |
| 2118.750 | between the same two species. It is not | always equal in degree in a first cross and in |
| 2149.29 | record.
In the first place it should | always be borne in mind what sort of |
| 2149.303 | this is a wholly false view; we should | always look for forms intermediate between |
| 2163.146 | ancient species; and so on backwards, | always converging to the common ancestor of |
| 2339.294 | ago, the great class of mammals was | always spoken of as having abruptly come in at |

It is most difficult | always to remember that the increase of every |

| 1167.549 | of the other inhabitants of North | America and Europe. On my view we must suppose |
| 1167.1509 | still to see in the cave-animals of | America, affinities to the other inhabitants of |

| 1476.245 | breaking them like a nuthatch. In North | America the black bear was seen by Hearne |
| 1478.587 | in the chinks of the bark? Yet in North | America there are woodpeckers which feed |

| 1956.653 | indigenous domestic dogs of South | America, all are quite fertile together; and |

| 2596.1475 | is the case of the Edentata of South | America, still fewer genera and species will |
| 2637.376 | come to this conclusion. The case of | America alone would almost suffice to prove its |
| 2643.109 | South Africa, and western South | America, between latitudes 25º and 35º, we |
| 2643.352 | we may compare the productions of South | America south of lat. 35º with those north of |

| 2783.447 | mountains and on the plains of North | America and Europe; and it may be reasonably |
| 2787.934 | Europe, through Siberia, to eastern | America. And to this continuity of the |
| 2793.273 | between the productions of North | America and Europe,—a relationship which is |
| 2793.534 | that the productions of Europe and | America during the later tertiary stages were |
| 2801.485 | and western shores of temperate North | America; and the still more striking case of |
| 2803.170 | of the temperate lands of North | America and Europe, are inexplicable on the |
| 2803.415 | for instance, certain parts of South | America with the southern continents of the Old |
| 2811.11 | corner of Australia.
Looking to | America; in the northern half, ice-borne |

| 2972.903 | a stamp of affinity to those created in | America? There is nothing in the conditions of |
| 2972.1611 | Africa, like those of the Galapagos to | America. I believe this grand fact can receive |
| 2976.34 | by formerly continuous land, from | America; and the Cape de Verde Islands from |
| 2978.323 | standing nearer to Africa than to | America, are related, and that very closely, as |
| 2978.418 | from Dr. Hooker's account, to those of | America: but on the view that this island has |
| 2978.805 | but it is also plainly related to South | America, which, although the next nearest |
| 2978.996 | the view that both New Zealand, South | America, and other southern lands were long ago |
| 3000.683 | lowlands;—thus we have in South | America, Alpine humming-birds, Alpine rodents |

If then we have under nature |

| 538.382 | may instance Rubus, Rosa, and Hieracium | amongst plants, several genera of insects, and |
| 548.896 | a difference of 139 doubtful forms! | Amongst animals which unite for each birth, and |
| 635.196 | has been seen in the last chapter that | amongst organic beings in a state of nature |

| 1345.1205 | to account for the reappearance of very | ancient characters, is-that there is a tendency |
| 1361.1651 | to some of the characters of their | ancient progenitors. Although new and important |
| 1520.39 | passed, we should have to look to very | ancient ancestral forms, long since become |
| 1530.120 | by ordinary generation from an | ancient prototype, of which we know nothing |
| 1530.1099 | is probable that organs which at a very | ancient period served for respiration have been |
| 1546.520 | organs had been inherited from one | ancient progenitor thus provided, we might have |
| 1717.980 | nests. Now let us suppose that the | ancient progenitor of our European cuckoo had |
| 2163.108 | turn been similarly connected with more | ancient species; and so on backwards, always |
| 2249.28 | be formed.
I am convinced that all our | ancient formations, which are rich in fossils |

| 2285.1137 | feet thick in Nova Scotia, with | ancient root-bearing strata, one above the |

| 2367.1050 | epoch, is very great. If these most | ancient beds had been wholly worn away by |
| 2398.417 | species—On the state of development of | ancient forms—On the succession of the same |

| 2522.36 | It is a common belief that the more | ancient a form is, by so much the more it tends |
| 2528.957 | something in common from their | ancient and common progenitor. On the principle |
| 2528.1179 | more it will generally differ from its | ancient progenitor. Hence we can understand the |
| 2528.1246 | can understand the rule that the most | ancient fossils differ most from existing forms |
| 2540.425 | diverged. Thus it comes that | ancient and extinct genera are often in some |
| 2556.265 | corresponding lengths of time: a very | ancient form might occasionally last much |
| 2562.46 | by the physical conditions of the | ancient areas having remained nearly the same |
| 2566.31 | find.
On the state of Development of | Ancient Forms.—There has been much discussion |
| 2566.129 | forms are more highly developed than | ancient. I will not here enter on this subject |
| 2570.62 | on my theory, be higher than the more | ancient; for each new species is formed by |
| 2570.702 | forms of life, in comparison with the | ancient and beaten forms; but I can see no way |
| 2576.21 | this result.
Agassiz insists that | ancient animals resemble to a certain extent |
| 2578.83 | of picture, preserved by nature, of the | ancient and less modified condition of each |
| 2590.379 | America. For we know that Europe in | ancient times was peopled by numerous |
| 2618.56 | how it is that all the forms of life, | ancient and recent, make together one grand |
| 2618.233 | divergence of character, why the more | ancient a form is, the more it generally |
| 2618.309 | differs from those now living. Why | ancient and extinct forms often tend to fill up |
| 2618.529 | them a little closer together. The more | ancient a form is, the more often, apparently |
| 2618.669 | groups now distinct; for the more | ancient a form is, the more nearly it will be |
| 2624.347 | If it should hereafter be proved that | ancient animals resemble to a certain extent |
| 2671.522 | which will have supervened since | ancient times, almost any amount of migration |
| 2781.223 | probability have become mingled with | ancient Alpine species, which must have existed |
| 2809.446 | Hooker saw maize growing on gigantic | ancient moraines. South of the equator, we have |
| 2886.1378 | some fresh-water fish belong to very | ancient forms, and in such cases there will |
| 2948.516 | many volcanic islands are sufficiently | ancient, as shown by the stupendous degradation |
| 3012.103 | bear in mind that some are extremely | ancient, and must have branched off from a |
| 3063.686 | class, for all have descended from one | ancient but unseen parent, and, consequently |
| 3075.331 | It might have been thought (and was in | ancient times thought) that those parts of the |
| 3129.481 | one. Yet it might be that some very | ancient language had altered little, and had |
| 3173.211 | modification, how it is that the more | ancient forms of life often present characters |
| 3179.639 | bizcacha, branched off from some very | ancient Marsupial, which will have had a |
| 3179.1026 | more of the character of its | ancient progenitor than have other Rodents; and |
| 3185.749 | between the numerous kindred of any | ancient and noble family, even by the aid of a |

| 3191.1140 | parents; or these parents from their | ancient and unknown progenitor. Yet the natural |
| 3211.854 | several parts. If we suppose that the | ancient progenitor, the archetype as it may be |
| 3301.1391 | us the structure of their less modified | ancient progenitors, we can clearly see why |
| 3301.1435 | progenitors, we can clearly see why | ancient and extinct forms of life should |

| 3305.204 | that the supposed law of resemblance of | ancient forms of life to the embryonic stages |
| 3307.225 | in the many descendants from some one | ancient progenitor, at a very early period in |
| 3410.51 | somewhere have been deposited at these | ancient and utterly unknown epochs in the world |
| 3496.392 | the groups which have descended from an | ancient progenitor have generally diverged in |
| 3496.606 | and thus we can see why the more | ancient a fossil is, the oftener it stands in |
| 3496.793 | being, in some vague sense, higher than | ancient and extinct forms; and they are in so |

| 435.588 | who was himself a very good judge of an | animal, speaks of the principle of selection |
| 471.137 | of their domestic animals, yet any one | animal particularly useful to them, for any |
| 505.1164 | important point of all, is, that the | animal or plant should be so highly useful to |
| 530.51 | summits, or the thicker fur of an | animal from far northwards, would not in some |
| 560.275 | been struck with the fact, that if any | animal or plant in a state of nature be highly |
| 653.772 | with manifold force to the whole | animal and vegetable kingdoms; for in this |
| 673.836 | of cases is an early one. If an | animal can in any way protect its own eggs or |
| 673.1374 | in all cases, the average number of any | animal or plant depends only indirectly on the |
| 681.446 | better known than any other | animal. This subject has been ably treated by |
| 723.724 | credible that the presence of a feline | animal in large numbers in a district might |
| 749.45 | also, we can see that when a plant or | animal is placed in a new country amongst new |
| 796.371 | that the occasional destruction of an | animal of any particular colour would produce |
| 824.65 | that when the males and females of any | animal have the same general habits of life |
| 892.195 | found a single case of a terrestrial | animal which fertilises itself. We can |
| 896.136 | a single case of an hermaphrodite | animal with the organs of reproduction so |
| 900.194 | suspect that, both in the vegetable and | animal kingdoms, an occasional intercross with |
| 914.260 | the same area, varieties of the same | animal can long remain distinct, from haunting |
| 982.719 | the descendants of our carnivorous | animal became, the more places they would be |
| 982.803 | enabled to occupy. What applies to one | animal will apply throughout all time to all |
| 1084.1385 | classes in each main division of the | animal and vegetable kingdoms. Although |

| 1349.99 | thousands of generations, and I see an | animal striped like a zebra, but perhaps |
| 1380.33 | Secondly, is it possible that an | animal having, for instance, the structure and |

| 1442.182 | how, for instance, a land carnivorous | animal could have been converted into one with |

| 1522.389 | in the fish Cobites. In the Hydra, the | animal may be turned inside out, and the |
| 1566.531 | tail having been formed in an aquatic | animal, it might subsequently come to be |
| 1618.226 | formed by natural selection from an | animal which at first could only glide through |

| 3247.322 | and as beautiful as in the adult | animal. From such special adaptations, the |
| 3251.335 | In some cases, however, the mature | animal is generally considered as lower in the |

In regard to plants, there |
| 455.44 | periods of English history choice | animals were often imported, and laws were |

| 681.631 | more especially in regard to the feral | animals of South America. Here I will make only |
| 681.775 | of the chief points. Eggs or very young | animals seem generally to suffer most, but this |

| 864.677 | for an ample discussion. All vertebrate | animals, all insects, and some other large |
| 864.730 | insects, and some other large groups of | animals, pair for each birth. Modern research |

| 892.649 | could be effected with terrestrial | animals without the concurrence of two |
| 892.712 | of two individuals. Of aquatic | animals, there are many self-fertilising |

| 912.301 | intercrossing will most affect those | animals which unite for each birth, which |
| 912.410 | breed at a very quick rate. Hence in | animals of this nature, for instance in birds |
| 912.627 | only occasionally, and likewise in | animals which unite for each birth, but which |
| 914.34 | Even in the case of slow-breeding | animals, which unite for each birth, we must |

It is well known that several | animals, belonging to the most different |
| 1161.404 | could be in any way injurious to | animals living in darkness, I attribute their |
| 1161.493 | wholly to disuse. In one of the blind | animals, namely, the cave-rat, the eyes are of |
| 1167.159 | so that on the common view of the blind | animals having been separately created for the |
| 1167.610 | my view we must suppose that American | animals, having ordinary powers of vision |

| 1177.1282 | we do not positively know that these | animals were strictly adapted to their native |
| 1179.31 | homes.
As I believe that our domestic | animals were originally chosen by uncivilised |

In looking at species as they are now |
| 1442.376 | that within the same group carnivorous | animals exist having every intermediate grade |
| 1446.76 | like other polecats on mice and land | animals. If a different case had been taken |
| 1450.72 | here we have the finest gradation from | animals with their tails only slightly |
| 1464.436 | been modified into perfectly winged | animals. If this had been effected, who would |
| 1466.132 | for flight, we should bear in mind that | animals displaying early transitional grades of |

| 1506.302 | in mind how small the number of living | animals is in proportion to those which have |
| 1522.176 | cases could be given amongst the lower | animals of the same organ performing at the |
| 1528.264 | with the lungs of the higher vertebrate | animals: hence there seems to me to be no great |
| 1530.48 | hardly doubt that all vertebrate | animals having true lungs have descended by |
| 1560.857 | and existence of cattle and other | animals in South America absolutely depends on |
| 1566.284 | locomotion the tail is in most aquatic | animals, its general presence and use for many |
| 1566.356 | use for many purposes in so many land | animals, which in their lungs or modified swim |

| 1669.617 | making allowance for the instincts of | animals having been but little observed except |

| 1839.332 | that some insects and other articulate | animals in a state of nature occasionally |

| 1950.94 | cases of perfectly fertile hybrid | animals, I have some reason to believe that the |
| 1956.74 | namely, that most of our domestic | animals have descended from two or more |
| 1956.1114 | of the origin of many of our domestic | animals, we must either give up the belief of |
| 1956.1214 | sterility of distinct species of | animals when crossed; or we must look at |
| 1958.81 | on the intercrossing of plants and | animals, it may be concluded that some degree |
| 1964.467 | to ascertain how far the rules apply to | animals, and considering how scanty our |
| 1964.540 | our knowledge is in regard to hybrid | animals, I have been surprised to find how |

| 2110.324 | which I have collected of cross-bred | animals closely resembling one parent, the |
| 2110.1061 | enormous body of facts with respect to | animals, comes to the conclusion, that the laws |

With marine | animals of all kinds, we may safely infer a |

| 2299.637 | confined to some one spot. Most marine | animals have a wide range; and we have seen |

Other and unknown agencies probably |

The laws governing inheritance are |

In regard to plants, there is | another means of observing the accumulated |
| 499.1160 | perhaps more at one period than at | another, as the breed rises or falls in fashion |

| 542.1168 | one form is ranked as a variety of | another, not because the intermediate links |
| 548.293 | by one botanist as good species, and by | another as mere varieties. Mr. H. C. Watson, to |

| 598.636 | genera. Both these results follow when | another division is made, and when all the |
| 608.617 | genera. Or the case may be put in | another way, and it may be said, that in the |
| 635.886 | of one part of the organisation to | another part, and to the conditions of life |
| 635.968 | and of one distinct organic being to | another being, been perfected? We see these |
| 647.132 | including dependence of one being on | another, and including (which is more important |
| 653.586 | existence, either one individual with | another of the same species, or with the |
| 673.326 | One fly deposits hundreds of eggs, and | another, like the hippobosca, a single one; but |

| 872.452 | freedom for the entrance of pollen from | another individual will explain this state of |
| 872.1038 | on the stigma, or bring pollen from | another flower. So necessary are the visits of |
| 872.1539 | of one flower and then the stigma of | another with the same brush to ensure |
| 876.159 | a plant's own pollen and pollen from | another species, the former will have such a |

| 878.1378 | raised plenty of seedlings; and whilst | another species of Lobelia growing close by |
| 912.251 | away insensibly from one district to | another. The intercrossing will most affect |
| 954.250 | between all organic beings, one with | another and with their physical conditions of |
| 976.145 | pigeon having a slightly shorter beak; | another fancier is struck by a pigeon having a |
| 976.569 | one man preferred swifter horses; | another stronger and more bulky horses. The |
| 1048.68 | represented in the diagram, | another of our principles, namely that of |
| 1080.662 | One large group will slowly conquer | another large group, reduce its numbers, and |
| 1125.386 | structure between one organic being and | another, which we see everywhere throughout |
| 1189.50 | animals from one district to | another; for it is not likely that man should |
| 1225.398 | it rarely flows, at least in excess, to | another part; thus it is difficult to get a cow |
| 1225.1218 | developed through natural selection and | another and adjoining part being reduced by |
| 1225.1400 | part owing to the excess of growth in | another and adjoining part.
I suspect, also |

| 1311.258 | resemble in some of its characters | another species; this other species being on my |
| 1339.897 | the pure quagga. Lastly, and this is | another most remarkable case, a hybrid has been |

| 1472.914 | over one spot and then proceeding to | another, like a kestrel, and at other times |
| 1492.65 | of one type to take the place of one of | another type; but this seems to me only |
| 1532.124 | of conversion from one function to | another, that I will give one more instance |
| 1540.223 | The electric organs of fishes offer | another case of special difficulty; it is |
| 1546.26 | is possible.
The electric organs offer | another and even more serious difficulty; for |
| 1568.634 | one male an advantage in fighting with | another or in charming the females. Moreover |
| 1592.106 | one species exclusively for the good of | another species; though throughout nature one |
| 1592.225 | of, and profits by, the structure of | another. But natural selection can and does |
| 1596.159 | been formed for the exclusive good of | another species, it would annihilate my theory |
| 1600.345 | instance, are perfect one compared with | another; but they are now rapidly yielding |
| 1612.942 | graduate away from one part to | another. When two varieties are formed in two |
| 1630.90 | for the exclusive good or injury of | another; though it may well produce parts |
| 1630.216 | indispensable, or highly injurious to | another species, but in all cases at the same |
| 1630.405 | competition of the inhabitants one with | another, and consequently will produce |
| 1630.670 | they do yield, to the inhabitants of | another and generally larger country. For in |
| 1657.740 | so in instincts, one action follows | another by a sort of rhythm; if a person be |
| 1671.310 | an action for the sole good of | another, with which I am acquainted, is that of |
| 1675.585 | abdomen first of one aphis and then of | another; and each aphis, as soon as it felt the |
| 1675.1187 | an action for the exclusive good of | another of a distinct species, yet each species |
| 1689.1429 | crawl forward with a peculiar gait; and | another kind of wolf rushing round, instead of |
| 1717.1102 | that occasionally she laid an egg in | another bird's nest. If the old bird profited |
| 1717.1282 | of the mistaken maternal instinct of | another bird, than by their own mother's care |
| 1723.380 | a few eggs in one nest and then in | another; and these are hatched by the males |
| 1725.727 | a burrow already made and stored by | another sphex, it takes advantage of the prize |
| 1743.70 | to witness a migration from one nest to | another, and it was a most interesting |
| 1743.213 | described, their slaves in their jaws. | Another day my attention was struck by about a |
| 1743.804 | parcel of the pupæ of F. fusca from | another nest, and put them down on a bare spot |
| 1747.72 | place a small parcel of the pupæ of | another species, F. flava, with a few of these |
| 1749.22 | off the pupæ.
One evening I visited | another community of F. sanguinea, and found a |
| 1809.184 | a short time at one cell going to | another, so that, as Huber has stated, a score |
| 1857.88 | nest; they are fed by the workers of | another caste, and they have an enormously |
| 1871.386 | size and structure, and simultaneously | another set of workers of a different size and |
| 1924.1129 | my own experience) from the anthers of | another flower, as from the anthers of the |
| 1924.1567 | either from the same plant or from | another plant of the same hybrid nature. And |
| 1932.253 | more easily fertilised by the pollen of | another and distinct species, than by their own |
| 1980.736 | can most readily be crossed; and | another genus, as Silene, in which the most |
| 2006.404 | of one plant to be grafted or budded on | another is so entirely unimportant for its |
| 2006.718 | reason why one tree will not take on | another, from differences in their rate of |
| 2014.474 | be grafted with no great difficulty on | another species, when thus grafted were |
| 2038.446 | the different parts and organs one to | another, or to the conditions of life. When |
| 2046.100 | c., from one soil or climate to | another, and back again. During the |
| 2100.151 | of one species are crossed with | another species, the hybrids do not differ much |

| 2104.326 | both when one species is crossed with | another, and when one variety is crossed with |
| 2104.372 | and when one variety is crossed with | another variety. For instance, I think those |
| 2120.91 | of one species or variety to take on | another, is incidental on generally unknown |
| 2120.250 | facility of one species to unite with | another, is incidental on unknown differences |
| 2126.465 | view is supported by a parallelism of | another kind;—namely, that the crossing of |
| 2227.678 | after an enormous interval of time, by | another and later formation, without the |
| 2235.66 | geological record mainly results from | another and more important cause than any of |
| 2267.145 | requisite to change one species into | another. I am aware that two palæontologists |
| 2345.11 | of the secondary period.
I may give | another instance, which from having passed |
| 2359.104 | known fossiliferous strata.—There is | another and allied difficulty, which is much |
| 2367.504 | accuracy. M. Barrande has lately added | another and lower stage to the Silurian system |

| 2434.695 | species gradually disappear, one after | another, first from one spot, then from another |
| 2434.735 | another, first from one spot, then from | another, and

| 2466.679 | than that; why this species and not | another can be naturalised in a given country |
| 2494.810 | and dominant species on the land, and | another for those in the waters of the sea. If |
| 2592.446 | formerly differed greatly from those of | another continent, so will their modified |
| 2651.445 | emigrants; here we have a barrier of | another kind, and as soon as this is passed we |
| 2651.541 | eastern islands of the Pacific, with | another and totally distinct fauna. So that |
| 2657.842 | and northward the plains of La Plata by | another species of the same genus; and not by a |
| 2663.520 | forms of life from one region into | another having been effected with more or less |
| 2693.238 | a region should be related to those of | another region, whence it has been stocked. A |
| 2693.784 | of species in one region to those in | another, does not differ much (by substituting |
| 2695.90 | of creation" do not directly bear on | another allied question,—namely whether all the |
| 2721.124 | be floated across 924 miles of sea to | another country; and when stranded, if blown to |

| 2743.368 | part of the now temperate regions to | another. In the Azores, from the large number |
| 2749.785 | but not from one distant continent to | another. The floras of distant continents would |
| 2817.225 | at one point of the globe than at | another, but seeing that it endured for long at |
| 2861.198 | we can say why one species and not | another becomes naturalised by man's agency in |
| 2861.337 | and is twice or thrice as common, as | another species within their own homes.
I have |
| 2892.807 | a little duck-weed from one aquarium to | another, that I have quite unintentionally |
| 2892.910 | fresh-water shells from the other. But | another agency is perhaps more effectual: I |
| 2904.1007 | makes me believe that a heron flying to | another pond and getting a hearty meal of fish |
| 2910.1504 | and naturally travel from one to | another and often distant piece of water |
| 2910.1653 | a particular nature, and drops them in | another equally well fitted for them.
On the |

| 2924.887 | peculiar, those of another class, or of | another section of the same class, are peculiar |
| 2944.14 | difficult to explain.
Mammals offer | another and similar case. I have carefully |
| 2988.248 | been brought to one island, and that of | another plant to another island. Hence when in |
| 2988.265 | island, and that of another plant to | another island. Hence when in former times an |
| 2988.414 | subsequently spread from one island to | another, it would undoubtedly be exposed to |
| 2988.698 | distinct plants in one island than in | another, and it would be exposed to the attacks |
| 2994.347 | species has any advantage whatever over | another, it will in a very brief time wholly or |
| 3006.250 | other species allied to it, is shown in | another and more general way. Mr. Gould |
| 3038.322 | have all its species endemic, and | another group should have all its species |
| 3057.384 | fitted to inhabit the land, and | another the water; one to feed on flesh |
| 3057.425 | the water; one to feed on flesh, | another on vegetable matter, and so on; but the |
| 3069.483 | for instance, to all mammals, by | another those common to all carnivora, by |
| 3069.525 | those common to all carnivora, by | another those common to the dog-genus, and then |
| 3081.1411 | seems to be entirely lost." Again in | another work he says, the genera of the |

There is | another and equally curious branch of the |
| 3217.949 | of one organ being transformed into | another; and we can actually see in embryonic |
| 3231.96 | the parts of one species with those of | another and distinct species, we can indicate |
| 3231.249 | one part or organ is homologous with | another in the same individual. And we can |

New species have | appeared very slowly, one after another, both on |

| 331.923 | the greater length of horn, though | appearing late in life, is clearly due to the |

Thus we |

| 1406.498 | form of the land and of climate, marine | areas now continuous must often have existed |
| 1406.780 | have been formed on strictly continuous | areas; though I do not doubt that the |
| 1406.847 | that the formerly broken condition of | areas now continuous has played an important |
| 1418.164 | to adapt two varieties to two large | areas, and a third variety to a narrow |
| 1420.566 | larger numbers from inhabiting larger | areas, will have a great advantage over the |

Secondly, | areas now continuous must often have existed |

It may be asked in ridicule, whether |
| 2624.539 | same types of structure within the same | areas during the later geological periods |
| 2641.28 | degree; for instance, small | areas in the Old World could be pointed out |
| 2661.147 | space and time, over the same | areas of land and water, and independent of |
| 2667.43 | even families are confined to the same | areas, as is so commonly and notoriously the |
| 2681.1248 | been produced in two or more distinct | areas!
Hence it seems to me, as it has to |
| 2793.370 | considering the distance of the two | areas, and their separation by the Atlantic |
| 2801.308 | many closely allied forms now living in | areas completely sundered. Thus, I think, we |
| 2801.689 | Mediterranean and in the seas of Japan,— | areas now separated by a continent and by |
| 2803.352 | similar physical conditions of the | areas; for if we compare, for instance |
| 2855.706 | dominant forms, generated in the larger | areas and more efficient workshops of the |
| 2855.1238 | to those produced within the larger | areas of the north, just in the same way as |
| 2910.1100 | ever can range, over immense | areas, and having subsequently become extinct |
| 2918.114 | with those on equal continental | areas: Alph. de Candolle admits this for |
| 3032.1073 | highest importance, we can see why two | areas having nearly the same physical |
| 3038.1107 | probably derived. We can see why in two | areas, however distant from each other, there |
| 3040.270 | time the differences in different | areas. We see this in many facts. The |
| 3502.871 | whole intertropical ocean. Although two | areas may present the same physical |
| 3502.1170 | of all relations, and as the two | areas will have received colonists from some |

| 3376.33 | AS this whole volume is one long | argument, it may be convenient to the reader to |

| 3448.993 | let us turn to the special facts and | arguments in favour of the theory.
On the view |

| 493.516 | differences might, and indeed do now, | arise amongst pigeons, which are rejected as |
| 635.793 | but little in understanding how species | arise in nature. How have all those exquisite |
| 641.413 | than do the species of the same genus, | arise? All these results, as we shall more |
| 776.127 | which in the course of ages chanced to | arise, and which in any way favoured the |
| 884.650 | are mongrelized? I suspect that it must | arise from the pollen of a distinct variety |
| 1361.1721 | new and important modifications may not | arise from reversion and analogous variation |
| 1663.634 | As modifications of corporeal structure | arise from, and are increased by, use or |
11 | | | arisen | |
| 429.154 | variations useful to him have probably | arisen suddenly, or by one step; many |
| 429.407 | this amount of change may have suddenly | arisen in a seedling. So it has probably been |
| 532.200 | or which may be presumed to have thus | arisen, from being frequently observed in the |
| 1568.726 | modification of structure has primarily | arisen from the above or other unknown causes |
| 1574.807 | the hooks on the bamboo may have | arisen from unknown laws of growth, and have |

Geographical distribution has often |

He who will go thus far, if he |

| 1309.380 | in each generation in the plumage to | assume this colour. This view is hypothetical |
| 1510.328 | be presumptuous? Have we any right to | assume that the Creator works by intellectual |
| 2213.948 | form some crude notion on the subject, | assume that the sea would eat into cliffs |
| 2213.1138 | but it is the same as if we were to | assume a cliff one yard in height to be eaten |
| 2379.780 | of elevation. But have we any right to | assume that things have thus remained from |
| 2528.1317 | existing forms. We must not, however, | assume that divergence of character is a |

| 3159.1269 | adapted to similar conditions, and thus | assume a close external resemblance; but such |
| 3472.303 | enter any zone, they occasionally | assume some of the characters of the species |
| 3530.672 | of the lapse of time, we are too apt to | assume, without proof, that the geological |
11 | | | assumed | |
| 351.18 | favour of this view.
It has often been | assumed that man has chosen for domestication |
| 393.768 | origin of our pigeons, it must be | assumed that at least seven or eight species |
| 395.632 | those of the fantail. Hence it must be | assumed not only that half-civilized man |
| 1042.93 | would vary. In the diagram I have | assumed that a second species (I) has produced |
| 1054.23 | to exist.
If then our diagram be | assumed to represent a considerable amount of |
| 1317.471 | species, that the one in varying has | assumed some of the characters of the other, so |
| 1839.1209 | state, I should have unhesitatingly | assumed that all its characters had been slowly |
| 2508.562 | of the two areas,—unless, indeed, it be | assumed that an isthmus separated two seas |

It is commonly | assumed, perhaps from monstrosities often |

| 1297.82 | and a variety of one species often | assumes some of the characters of an allied |
| 1345.818 | and other marks; and when any breed | assumes by simple variation a bluish tint |
| 3151.303 | very different habits of life, it | assumes high value; for we can account for its |

| 2351.468 | known, are really teleostean. | Assuming, however, that the whole of them did |
| 2379.1262 | stand. Nor should we be justified in | assuming that if, for instance, the bed of the |
2 | | | assumption | |
| 256.159 | perfect as we now see them; but this | assumption seems to me to be no explanation, for |
| 393.205 | the rock-pigeon seems to me a very rash | assumption. Moreover, the several above-named |

7 | | | assured | |
| 1159.373 | in its habits than the mole; and I was | assured by a Spaniard, who had often caught |
| 1938.647 | crosses of Rhododendrons, and I am | assured that many of them are perfectly fertile |
| 1950.827 | must be far more fertile; for I am | assured by two eminently capable judges, namely |
| 2942.283 | it strictly true. I have, however, been | assured that a frog exists on the mountains of |
| 2978.1274 | affinity, which, though feeble, I am | assured by Dr. Hooker is real, between the |
| 3301.825 | similar embryonic stages, we may feel | assured that they have both descended from the |
| 3568.17 | of each great class.
When we can feel | assured that all the individuals of the same |
21 | | | assuredly | |
| 441.958 | wants any of these qualities, he will | assuredly fail. Few would readily believe in the |
| 536.707 | any other point of view many instances | assuredly can be given.
There is one point |
| 717.578 | for long periods of time, though | assuredly the merest trifle would often give the |
| 772.1065 | in the economy of nature which would | assuredly be better filled up, if some of the |
| 796.1151 | in cultivating the several varieties, | assuredly, in a state of nature, where the trees |
| 1090.739 | useful to any organic being do occur, | assuredly individuals thus characterised will |
| 1430.571 | in some degree permanent; and this | assuredly we do see.
Secondly, areas now |
| 1440.181 | of the same group together, must | assuredly have existed; but the very process of |
| 1560.404 | with constitutional differences, might | assuredly be acted on by natural selection. The |
| 1586.1264 | and consequently, though each being | assuredly is well fitted for its place in nature |
| 1689.1543 | them to a distant point, we should | assuredly call these actions instinctive |
| 1948.645 | tendency to sterility, the breed would | assuredly be lost in a very few generations |
| 2054.934 | varieties produced under nature will | assuredly have to be granted.
If we turn to |
