 526.787rarely be proved. We have also what are called monstrosities; but they graduate into

 641.63how is it that varieties, which I have called incipient species, become ultimately

 1689.1620Domestic instincts, as they may be called, are certainly far less fixed or

 1119.953but a long catalogue of facts which cannot be here given would be necessary to
 1125.277safely conclude that such influences cannot have produced the many striking and
 1133.56is of the slightest use to a being, we cannot tell how much of it to attribute to the
 1141.580anomaly in nature than a bird that cannot fly; yet there are several in this
 1141.1139and is exposed to danger from which it cannot escape by flight, but by kicking it can
 1147.913be lost early in life, and therefore cannot be much used by these insects. In some

 1173.644arctic or even from a temperate region cannot endure a tropical climate, or
 1173.725So again, many succulent plants cannot endure a damp climate. But the degree
 1183.478our domestic breeds. The rat and mouse cannot be considered as domestic animals, but
 1189.833varieties are of recent origin, they cannot owe their constitutional differences to
 1189.1117it was—as proving that acclimatisation cannot be effected! The case, also, of the
 1189.1560the same precautions, the experiment cannot be said to have been even tried. Nor
 1245.578facts which I have collected, and which cannot possibly be here introduced. I can only
 1251.171certainly to hold good in this class. I cannot make out that it applies to plants, and
 1257.941natural selection either has not or cannot come into full play, and thus the
 1450.529distance from tree to tree. We cannot doubt that each structure is of use to
 1590.67are of special use to these birds; we cannot believe that the same bones in the arm
 1592.18laws of growth. Natural selection cannot possibly produce any modification in
 1596.356on natural history to this effect, I cannot find even one which seems to me of any
 1604.634used against many attacking animals, cannot be withdrawn, owing to the backward
 1675.1400in some few cases, certain instincts cannot be considered as absolutely perfect
 1689.493case of the several breeds of dogs: it cannot be doubted that young pointers (I have
 1689.809a flock of sheep, by shepherd-dogs. I cannot see that these actions, performed
 1689.1166her eggs on the leaf of the cabbage,—I cannot see that these actions differ
 1697.653as I hear from Mr. Brent, which cannot fly eighteen inches high without going
 1755.363food for itself or its young, and cannot even feed itself: it is absolutely
 1803.391a great error to suppose that the bees cannot build up a rough wall of wax in the
 1833.126natural selection,—cases, in which we cannot see how an instinct could possibly have
 1833.470remote in the scale of nature, that we cannot account [page] 236 INSTINCT. CHAP. VII
 1837.543and yet, from being sterile, they cannot propagate their kind. The subject well
 1914.915injurious to the fertility of a plant cannot be doubted; for Gärtner gives in his
 1924.159or variety increases fertility, that I cannot doubt the correctness of this almost
 1958.223extremely general result; but that it cannot, under our present state of knowledge

 2213.869denuded the Weald. This, of course, cannot be done; but we may, in order to form
 2221.302number of generations, which the mind cannot grasp, must have succeeded each other
 2261.37From the foregoing considerations it cannot be doubted that the geological record
 2351.640certainly be highly remarkable; but I cannot see that it would be an insuperable
 2359.491earliest known species. For instance, I cannot doubt that all the Silurian trilobites
 2359.810differ much from living species; and it cannot on my theory be supposed, that these
 2466.786we may justly feel surprise why we cannot account for the extinction of this
 2486.376and the introduction of new ones, cannot be owing to mere changes in marine
 2514.569existing genera, families, and orders, cannot be disputed. For if we confine our
 2596.212as their degenerate descendants. This cannot for an instant be admitted. These huge
 2626.117at least be asserted that the record cannot be proved to be much more perfect, the
 2635.25DISTRIBUTION. Present distribution cannot be accounted for by differences in
 2637.1028or condition in the Old World which cannot be paralleled in the New-at least as
 2683.336many cases occur, in which we cannot explain how the same species could have
 2803.237on the theory of creation. We cannot say that they have been created alike
 2861.122and others have remained unaltered. We cannot hope to explain such facts, until we
 2863.189works on the antarctic regions. These cannot be here discussed. I will only say that
 2863.812these species are so distinct, that we cannot suppose that there has been time since
 2886.1305no doubt there are many cases which cannot at present be explained: but some fresh
 2916.362the globe. I have already stated that I cannot honestly admit Forbes's view on
 2942.545and newts on so many oceanic islands cannot be accounted for by their physical
 2944.525nearest to an exception; but this group cannot be considered as oceanic, as it lies on
 2948.92happens in the arctic regions. Yet it cannot be said that small islands will not
 2948.369naturalised and greatly multiplied. It cannot be said, on the ordinary view of

 1837.195I will not here enter on these several cases, but will confine myself to one special

 1986.333of making reciprocal crosses. Such cases are highly important, for they prove
 1986.572organisation. On the other hand, these cases clearly show that the capacity for
 1986.1199failed. Several other equally striking cases could be given. Thuret has observed the

 2020.409systems. These differences, in both cases, follow to a certain extent, as might
 2022.172first crosses and of hybrids. These two cases are fundamentally different, for, as
 2032.153are many points of similarity. In both cases the sterility is independent of general

 2882.401We can here consider only a few cases. In regard to [page] 384 GEOGRAPHICAL
 2886.1293of the world, no doubt there are many cases which cannot at present be explained
 2886.1405to very ancient forms, and in such cases there will have been ample time for
 2934.30XII. what they are elsewhere. Such cases are generally accounted for by the
 2954.861in forming a judgment in some cases owing to the probable naturalisation of

 2994.981belonging in a large proportion of cases, as shown by Alph. de Candolle, to
 3012.195at a remote epoch; so that in such cases there will have been ample time for
 3044.1216than the higher; but there are in both cases marked exceptions to the rule. On my

 3044.1768each other in time and space; in both cases the laws of variation have been the
 3081.1368family, is very unequal, and in some cases seems to be entirely lost." Again in
 3147.448under higher groups, though in these cases the modification has been greater in
 3179.104distinct group, this affinity in most cases is general and not special: thus
 3233.202leaves; but it would in these cases probably be more correct, as Professor
 3247.457animals is sometimes much obscured; and cases could be given of the larvæ of two
