| 234.860 | day I have steadily pursued the same | object. I hope that I may be excused for |
| 369.634 | expressly experimentised for this | object, and failed. The offspring from the |
| 457.83 | methodical selection, with a distinct | object in view, to make a new strain or sub |
| 842.1479 | and as pollen is formed for the sole | object of fertilisation, its destruction |
| 908.67 | a breeder selects for some definite | object, and free intercrossing will wholly |
| 1237.1339 | whilst a tool for some particular | object had better be of some particular shape |
| 1560.694 | better and better, for so trifling an | object as driving away flies; yet we should |
| 1964.91 | first crosses and of hybrids. Our chief | object will be to see whether or not the rules |
| 2420.665 | striving during long ages for the same | object, might make a new breed hardly |
| 3201.160 | one class; but when we have a distinct | object in view, and do not look to some |
| 3321.436 | purpose, and be used for a distinct | object: in certain fish the swim-bladder seems |
| 3566.674 | become simpler when we have a definite | object in view. We possess no pedigrees or |
| 3592.295 | from famine and death, the most exalted | object which we are capable of conceiving |
6 | | | objected | |
| 451.10 | chiefly in these characters.
It may be | objected that the principle of selection has |
| 886.75 | with innumerable flowers, it may be | objected that pollen could seldom be carried |
| 2165.126 | numerous connecting links, it may be | objected, that time will not have sufficed for |
| 2520.18 | as they now are.
Some writers have | objected to any extinct species or group of |
| 2536.565 | ruminants and pachyderms. Yet he who | objected to call the extinct genera, which thus |
| 3412.166 | most geologists believe. It cannot be | objected that there has not been time sufficient |
5 | | | objection | |
| 890.144 | only in a limited sense. I believe this | objection to be valid, but that nature has |
| 2147.558 | is the most obvious and gravest | objection which can be urged against my theory |
| 2331.292 | than by Professor Sedgwick, as a fatal | objection to the belief in the transmutation of |
| 2520.263 | between two living forms, the | objection is probably valid. But I apprehend that |
| 2552.14 | consecutive formations.
It is no real | objection to the truth of the statement, that the |
12 | | | objections | |
| 858.123 | instances, is open to the same | objections which were at first urged against Sir |
| 1378.23 | to my theory.
These difficulties and | objections may be classed under the following |
| 1612.83 | discussed some of the difficulties and | objections which may be urged against my theory |
| 2143.44 | sixth chapter I enumerated the chief | objections which might be justly urged against the |
| 2307.432 | and most obvious of all the many | objections which may be urged against my views |
| 2626.168 | to be much more perfect, the main | objections to the theory of natural selection are |
| 3378.20 | recapitulated.
That many and grave | objections may be advanced against the theory of |
| 3406.478 | most obvious and forcible of the many | objections which may be urged against my theory |
| 3412.39 | I can answer these questions and grave | objections only on the supposition that the |
| 3420.37 | Such is the sum of the several chief | objections and difficulties which may justly be |
| 3424.76 | especial notice that the more important | objections relate to questions on which we are |
| 3448.940 | I could, the opposed difficulties and | objections: now let us turn to the special facts |
7 | | | objects | |
| 1412.1070 | as these species are already defined | objects (however they may have become so), not |
| 1426.68 | come to be tolerably well-defined | objects, and do not at any one period present |
| 2855.266 | Europe, though hides, wool, and other | objects likely to carry seeds have been largely |
| 3069.227 | for arranging together those living | objects which are most alike, and for |
| 3117.640 | mere putting together and separating | objects more or less alike.

The illustration of the swimbladder |

| 272.723 | in its history. Although much remains | obscure, and will long remain obscure, I can |
| 272.753 | remains obscure, and will long remain | obscure, I can entertain no doubt, after the |
| 590.753 | species. But so many causes tend to | obscure this result, that I am surprised that |
| 681.79 | species to increase in number is most | obscure. Look at the most vigorous species; by |
| 1185.226 | much to both means combined, is a very | obscure question. That habit or custom has some |
| 1205.63 | of correlation is very frequently quite | obscure. M. Is. Geoffroy St. Hilaire has |
| 1323.752 | and these stripes are sometimes very | obscure, or actually quite lost, in dark |
| 1612.300 | acts of creation are utterly | obscure. We have seen that species at any one |
7 | | | obscured | |
| 2466.554 | whole economy of nature will be utterly | obscured. Whenever we can precisely say why this |
| 3215.347 | of an organ might become so much | obscured as to be finally lost, by the atrophy |
| 3215.776 | to have been thus to a certain extent | obscured.
There is another and equally curious |

| 1986.823 | the same two species was long ago | observed by Kölreuter. To give an instance |
| 1986.1232 | cases could be given. Thuret has | observed the same fact with certain sea-weeds or |
| 1986.1421 | common in a lesser degree. He has | observed it even between forms so closely |
| 2022.683 | to reach the ovarium. It has also been | observed that when pollen of one species is |
| 2032.1496 | to vary, as every experimentalist has | observed.
Thus we see that when organic beings |

It should be | observed that the northern species and forms |

At the present time, eminent breeders |

| 471.88 | think of the inherited character of the | offspring of their domestic animals, yet any one |
| 471.351 | animals would thus generally leave more | offspring than the inferior ones; so that in this |

| 588.471 | will be the most likely to yield | offspring which, though in some slight degree |
| 641.872 | and will generally be inherited by its | offspring. The offspring, also, will thus have a |
| 641.887 | be inherited by its offspring. The | offspring, also, will thus have a better chance |

| 866.298 | gives vigour and fertility to the | offspring; and on the other hand, that close |

| 920.951 | can be given to their modified | offspring, solely by natural selection preserving |
| 970.1057 | character from its parents, and the | offspring of this variety again to differ from |

| 1098.184 | will tend to transmit to their modified | offspring that superiority which now makes them |
| 1123.117 | the varying or plastic condition of the | offspring. The male and female sexual elements |
| 1285.103 | not entail death, but only gives fewer | offspring to the less favoured males. Whatever |
| 1303.457 | liable to appear in the crossed | offspring of two distinct and differently |
| 1305.209 | only once by some other breed, the | offspring occasionally show a tendency to revert |
| 1305.1083 | probable hypothesis is, not that the | offspring suddenly takes after an ancestor some |
| 1315.825 | theory, sometimes to find the varying | offspring of a species assuming characters |
| 1339.730 | quagga, the hybrid, and even the pure | offspring subsequently produced from the mare by |
| 1365.59 | may be of each slight difference in the | offspring from their parents-and a cause for each |
| 1388.92 | being sterile and producing sterile | offspring, whereas, when varieties are crossed |
| 1721.158 | all maternal love and care for her own | offspring.
The occasional habit of birds laying |
| 1843.100 | structure, this being inherited by its | offspring, which again varied and were again |
| 1851.841 | and transmitted to their fertile | offspring a tendency to produce sterile members |
| 1896.471 | when crossed and of their mongrel | offspring not universal—Hybrids and mongrels |
| 1906.133 | they produce either few or no | offspring. Hybrids, on the other hand, have their |
| 1908.169 | likewise the fertility of their mongrel | offspring, is, on my theory, of equal importance |
| 1910.69 | when crossed and of their hybrid | offspring. It is impossible to study the several |
| 1914.399 | when crossed and by their hybrid | offspring, with the average number produced by |
| 1972.89 | to cross, and which rarely produce any | offspring, are generally very sterile; but the |
| 1992.193 | their likeness on their hybrid | offspring; but these two powers do not at all |
| 2038.549 | breed inter se, they transmit to their | offspring from generation to generation the same |
| 2046.480 | gives vigour and fertility to the | offspring. I believe, indeed, from the facts |
| 2048.299 | give vigour and fertility to the | offspring. But we have seen that greater changes |
| 2050.58 | when crossed, and of their Mongrel | offspring.—It may be urged, as a most forcible |
| 2054.296 | facility, and yield perfectly fertile | offspring. I fully admit that this is almost |
| 2078.416 | crosses, and he found their mongrel | offspring perfectly fertile. But one of these |
| 2086.113 | of the question of fertility, the | offspring of species when crossed and of |
| 2086.422 | between the so-called hybrid | offspring of species, and the so-called mongrel |
| 2086.470 | of species, and the so-called mongrel | offspring of varieties. And, on the other hand |
| 2088.671 | extreme amount of variability in their | offspring is notori-

Much |
| 2112.132 | a general and close similarity in the | offspring of crossed species, and of crossed |
| 2126.589 | to the vigour and fertility of their | offspring; and that slight changes in the |
| 2128.122 | as varieties, and their mongrel | offspring, are very generally, but not quite |
| 2420.172 | inorganic, should recur. For though the | offspring of one species might be adapted (and no |
| 2424.29 | CHAP. X.

| 2550.184 | descent in the diagram are the modified | offspring of those which lived at the fifth stage |
| 2614.239 | together, and to leave no modified | offspring on the face of the earth. But the utter |
| 3010.1437 | favourable for the conversion of its | offspring, firstly into new varieties and |
| 3263.1205 | age alone, has been communicated to the | offspring from the reproductive element of one |
| 3269.202 | reappear at a corresponding age in the | offspring. Certain variations can only appear at |
| 3269.571 | to appear at a corresponding age in the | offspring and parent. I am far from meaning that |
| 3283.663 | of life, and have been inherited by the | offspring at a corresponding not early period |
| 3315.1132 | rudiment of the pistil in the hybrid | offspring was much increased in size; and this |
| 3386.66 | when intercrossed and of their mongrel | offspring cannot be considered as universal; nor |
| 3392.816 | their conditions of life, and that the | offspring of slightly modified forms or varieties |
| 3426.285 | rendered impotent, fails to reproduce | offspring exactly like the parent-form |
| 3456.429 | to preserve the most divergent | offspring of any one species. Hence during a long |
| 3490.93 | we can at once see why their crossed | offspring should follow the same complex laws in |
| 3490.300 | in other such points,—as do the crossed | offspring of acknowledged varieties. On the other |

199 | | | often | |
| 140.422 | and varieties of the same species; | often severe between species of the same |
| 242.798 | on which facts cannot be adduced, | often apparently leading to conclusions |
| 289.134 | cultivated plants, such as wheat, still | often yield new varieties: our oldest |
| 295.567 | domesticated animals and plants, though | often weak and sickly, yet breeding quite |
| 327.236 | and sometimes not so; why the child | often reverts in certain characters to its |

| 333.425 | facts the above statement has so | often and so boldly been made. There would be |

the same species, also, | often have a somewhat monstrous character; by |
| 343.207 | in several trifling respects, they | often differ in an extreme degree in some one |
| 343.1117 | could not so perpetually recur. It has | often been stated that domestic races do not |
| 343.1521 | give, we have no right to expect | often to meet with generic differences in our |
| 351.7 | in favour of this view.
It has | often been assumed that man has chosen for |

| 403.895 | These two distinct cases are | often confounded in treatises on inheritance |
| 417.856 | also, see how it is that the breeds so | often have a somewhat monstrous character. It |
| 443.81 | but the variations are here | often more abrupt. No one supposes that our |
| 455.57 | of English history choice animals were | often imported, and laws were passed to |
| 485.327 | constitutions or structure, would | often succeed better in the one country than |
| 511.1039 | imported from some other country, | often from islands. Although I do not doubt |
| 548.1354 | another as varieties, or, as they are | often called, as geographical races! Many |
| 560.480 | These varieties, moreover, will be | often ranked by some authors as species. Look |
| 566.769 | and the truth of this admission will | often be disputed by other naturalists. When |
| 584.643 | to a certain extent from commonness), | often give rise to varieties sufficiently |
| 602.1024 | small genera have in the lapse of time | often increased greatly in size; and that |
| 602.1084 | in size; and that large genera have | often come to their maxima, declined, and |
| 608.190 | of difference between the species is | often exceedingly small. I have endeavoured |
| 616.432 | and in so far resemble varieties, | often have much restricted ranges. For |
| 633.404 | and varieties of the same species; | often severe between species of the same |
| 645.932 | face of nature bright with gladness, we | often see superabundance of food; we do not |
| 717.612 | assuredly the merest trifle would | often give the victory to one organic being |
| 731.147 | remote in the scale of nature. This is | often the case with those which may strictly |
| 741.169 | is related, in the most essential yet | often hidden manner, to that of all other |
| 778.1195 | or habits of one inhabitant would | often give it an advantage over others; and |
| 778.1290 | modifications of the same kind would | often still further increase the advantage |
| 784.1164 | in his power, all his productions. He | often begins his selection by some half |
| 802.55 | being, will cause other modifications, | often of the most unexpected nature.
As we |

| 816.1241 | all day long; male stag-beetles | often bear wounds from the huge mandibles of |

Amongst birds, the contest is | often of a more peaceful character. All those |
| 822.439 | in confinement well know that they | often take individual preferences and |
| 836.218 | this be thought very improbable; for we | often observe great differences in the |
| 842.390 | dusted with pollen, and would certainly | often transport the pollen from one flower to |

| 948.286 | kind. The existence of such places will | often depend on physical changes, which are |
| 948.760 | a very slow process. The process will | often be greatly retarded by free |
| 948.1027 | selection will always act very slowly, | often only at long intervals of time, and |
| 1018.677 | all to appear simultaneously, but | often after long intervals of time; nor are |

| 1034.483 | lines of descent, will, it is probable, | often take the place of, and so destroy, the |
| 1072.555 | genera, with those now living, yet are | often, in some degree, intermediate in |
| 1131.46 | zone of habitation of other species, | often acquiring in a very slight degree some |
| 1131.558 | coasts, as every collector knows, are | often brassy or lurid. Plants which live |
| 1147.132 | many male dung-feeding beetles are very | often broken off; he examined seventeen |
| 1159.404 | I was assured by a Spaniard, who had | often caught them, that they were frequently |
| 1167.1294 | its eyes, and natural selection will | often have effected other changes, such as an |
| 1173.836 | the climates under which they live is | often overrated.

| 2094.357 | expect that such variability would | often continue and be super-added to that |
| 2094.874 | in the conditions of life, being thus | often rendered either impotent or at least |

| 2385.667 | Sedgwick, &c., have unanimously, | often vehemently, maintained the immutability |
| 2458.464 | to the same family. But it must | often have happened that a new species |
| 2458.1035 | improved, a few of the sufferers may | often long be preserved, from being fitted to |
| 2492.295 | species. The process of diffusion may | often be very slow, being dependent on |
| 2506.168 | contemporaneous formations have | often been accumulated over very wide spaces |
| 2512.35 | periods,—a formation in one region | often corresponding with a blank interval in |
| 2540.456 | that ancient and extinct genera are | often in some slight degree intermediate in |
| 2564.222 | the accumulation of each formation has | often been interrupted, and as long blank |

| 2608.178 | he may urge the apparent, but | often falsely apparent, sudden coming in of |
| 2614.332 | of a whole group of species may | often be a very slow process, from the |
| 2618.335 | living. Why ancient and extinct forms | often tend to fill up gaps between existing |
| 2618.557 | The more ancient a form is, the more | often, apparently, it displays characters in |

| 2924.706 | liable to modification, and will | often produce groups of modified descendants |
| 2936.729 | of many insular beetles. Again, islands | often possess trees or bushes belonging to |
| 2936.1330 | plants. If so, natural selection would | often tend to add to the stature of |
| 2994.132 | some one island to the others. But we | often take, I think, an erroneous view of the |
| 3024.388 | on; if we bear in mind how | often a species may have ranged continuously |
| 3026.364 | are insuperable; though they | often are in this case, and in that of the |
| 3032.1129 | the same physical conditions should | often be inhabited by very different forms of |

| 3095.256 | in natural history. Hence, as has | often been remarked, a species may depart |
| 3109.24 | of descent.
Our classifications are | often plainly influenced by chains of |
| 3111.30 | Geographical distribution has | often been used, though perhaps not quite |
| 3153.202 | them. This may be safely done, and is | often done, as long as a sufficient number of |

| 3315.37 | The meaning of rudimentary organs is | often quite unmistakeable: for instance there |
| 3315.971 | with separated sexes, the male flowers | often have a rudiment of a pistil; and |
| 3325.110 | upper jaws of whales and ruminants, can | often be detected in the embryo, but |

| 311.651 | with the state of these organs in | other countries, is another instance of the |
| 317.713 | almost certainly unconsciously modify | other parts of the structure, owing to the |

| 327.309 | to its grandfather or grandmother or | other much more remote ancestor; why a |
| 331.262 | stage. But hereditary diseases and some | other facts make me believe that the rule has |
| 343.119 | that, although differing from each | other, and from the other species of the same |
| 343.139 | differing from each other, and from the | other species of the same genus, in several |
| 343.574 | of the same species differ from each | other in the same manner as, only in most |
| 343.911 | judges as mere varieties, and by | other competent judges as the descendants of |
| 343.1179 | domestic races do not differ from each | other in characters of generic value. I think |
| 349.482 | wild species; but, in the case of some | other domestic races, there is presumptive |
| 351.436 | and whether it would endure | other climates? Has the little variability of |
| 351.652 | domestication? I cannot doubt that if | other animals and plants, equal in number to |
| 359.140 | state that, from geographical and | other considerations, I think it highly |
| 363.112 | of which differ considerably from each | other in structure, I do not doubt that they |
| 375.1649 | utter a very different coo from the | other breeds. The fantail has thirty or even |

| 381.951 | length of wing and tail to each | other and to the body; the relative length of |
| 381.1516 | to differ to a slight degree from each | other.
Altogether at least a score of |
| 389.294 | or sub-species, which differ from each | other in the most trifling respects. As |
| 389.423 | belief are in some degree applicable in | other cases, I will here briefly give them |
| 389.1059 | sub-species, only two or three | other species of rock-pigeons are known; and |
| 395.75 | great weight, and applicable in several | other cases, is, that the above-specified |
| 395.296 | yet are certainly highly abnormal in | other parts of their structure: we may look |

| 435.526 | of agriculturalists than almost any | other individual, and who was himself a very |
| 449.898 | some one point do not differ at all in | other points; this is hardly ever, perhaps |
| 449.1253 | will produce races differing from each | other chiefly in these characters.
It may be |
| 471.246 | carefully preserved during famines and | other accidents, to which savages are so |
| 477.282 | rose, pelargonium, dahlia, and | other plants, when compared with the older |
| 483.163 | the Cape of Good Hope, nor any | other region inhabited by quite uncivilised |
| 485.379 | better in the one country than in the | other, and thus by a process of "natural |
| 491.851 | Java fantail, or like individuals of | other and distinct breeds, in which as many |
| 505.575 | they never can be improved." On the | other hand, nurserymen, from raising large |
| 511.194 | a country which is already stocked with | other races. In this respect enclosure of the |
| 511.780 | when killed they serve for food. On the | other hand, cats, from their nocturnal |
| 511.1024 | are almost always imported from some | other country, often from islands. Although I |
| 524.321 | closely, but unequally, related to each | other, and in having restricted ranges |
| 536.672 | will ever be found: but under any | other point of view many instances assuredly |
| 538.646 | some few exceptions, polymorphic in | other countries, and likewise, judging from |
| 542.121 | which are so closely similar to some | other forms, or are so closely linked to them |
| 542.678 | he treats the one as a variety of the | other, ranking the most common, but sometimes |
| 542.773 | described, as the species, and the | other as the variety. But cases of great |
| 548.1237 | which differ very slightly from each | other, have been ranked by one eminent |
| 552.885 | of species that they are ranked by | other highly-competent judges as good and |
| 558.177 | being specifically distinct. On the | other hand, they are united by many |
| 566.276 | knowledge of analogical variation in | other groups and in other countries, by which |
| 566.296 | variation in other groups and in | other countries, by which to correct his |
| 566.790 | admission will often be disputed by | other naturalists. When, moreover, he comes |
| 568.368 | These differences blend into each | other in an insensible series; and a series |
| 578.169 | of individuals closely resembling each | other, and that it does not essentially |
| 582.997 | divergence of character," and | other questions, hereafter to be discussed |
| 588.365 | necessarily have to struggle with the | other inhabitants of the country, the species |
| 590.196 | all those in the smaller genera on the | other side, a somewhat larger number of the |
| 596.680 | still favourable to variation. On the | other hand, if we look at each species as a |
| 598.249 | and those of the smaller genera on the | other side, and it has invariably proved to |
| 604.10 | and this holds good.
There are | other relations between the species of large |
| 608.890 | varieties, for they differ from each | other by a less than usual amount of |
| 610.62 | of the large genera are related to each | other, in the same manner as the varieties of |
| 610.144 | of any one species are related to each | other. No naturalist pretends that all the |
| 610.237 | a genus are equally distinct from each | other; they may generally be divided into sub |
| 610.430 | like satellites around certain | other species. And what are varieties but |
| 610.515 | of forms, unequally related to each | other, and clustered round certain forms—that |
| 610.765 | varieties, when compared with each | other or with their parent-species, is much |
| 616.13 | between species.
There is one | other point which seems to me worth notice |
| 616.383 | which are very closely allied to | other species, and in so far resemble |
| 616.670 | he considers as so closely allied to | other species as to be of doubtful value |
| 622.584 | species. Species very closely allied to | other species apparently have restricted |
| 641.196 | most cases obviously differ from each | other far more than do the varieties of the |
| 641.363 | genera, and which differ from each | other more than do the species of the same |
| 641.738 | in its infinitely complex relations to | other organic beings and to external nature |
| 647.330 | may be truly said to struggle with each | other which shall get food and live. But a |
| 651.168 | with the plants of the same and | other kinds which already clothe the ground |
| 651.263 | is dependent on the apple and a few | other trees, but can only in a far-fetched |
| 651.555 | truly be said to struggle with each | other. As the missletoe is disseminated by |
| 651.688 | metaphorically be said to struggle with | other fruit-bearing plants, in order to tempt |
| 651.802 | its seeds rather than those of | other plants. In these several senses, which |
| 651.862 | several senses, which pass into each | other, I use for convenience sake the general |
| 665.132 | surface almost to the exclusion of all | other plants, have been introduced from |
| 681.440 | so incomparably better known than any | other animal. This subject has been ably |
| 681.1057 | in ground already thickly stocked with | other plants. Seedlings, also, are destroyed |
| 681.1261 | where there could be no choking from | other plants, I marked all the seedlings of |
| 685.199 | by four) nine species perished from the | other species being allowed to grow up freely |
| 687.175 | food, but the serving as prey to | other animals, which determines the average |
| 687.661 | animals are now annually killed. On the | other hand, in some cases, as with the |
| 693.833 | fully stocked with inhabitants, the | other species will decrease. When we travel |
| 693.982 | that the cause lies quite as much in | other species being favoured, as in this one |
| 695.55 | in main part indirectly by favouring | other species, we may clearly see in the |
| 701.7 | the parasite and its prey.
On the | other hand, in many cases, a large stock of |
| 701.605 | it is to get seed from a few wheat or | other such plants in a garden; I have in this |
| 701.1217 | exist together, and thus save each | other from utter destruction. I should add |
| 719.610 | of the heartsease (Viola tricolor), for | other bees do not visit this flower. From |
| 719.887 | red clover (Trifolium pratense), as | other bees cannot reach the nectar. Hence I |
| 729.162 | and insect-between insects, snails, and | other animals with birds and beasts of prey |
| 729.256 | to increase, and all feeding on each | other or on the trees or their seeds and |
| 729.318 | or their seeds and seedlings, or on the | other plants which first clothed the ground |
| 731.222 | strictly be said to struggle with each | other for existence, as in the case of |
| 731.931 | in a few years quite supplant the | other varieties. To keep up a mixed stock of |
| 735.189 | mountain-varieties will starve out | other mountain-varieties, so that they cannot |
| 737.263 | they come into competition with each | other, than between species of distinct |
| 737.821 | will supplant another, and so in | other cases. We can dimly see why the |
| 741.205 | yet often hidden manner, to that of all | other organic beings, with which it comes |
| 741.810 | land being already thickly clothed by | other plants; so that the seeds may be widely |
| 741.1001 | for diving, allows it to compete with | other aquatic insects, to hunt for its own |
| 741.1083 | prey, and to escape serving as prey to | other animals. The store of nutriment laid up |
| 741.1213 | sight to have no sort of relation to | other plants. But from the strong growth of |
| 741.1482 | young seedling, whilst struggling with | other plants growing vigorously all around |
| 766.682 | relations of all organic beings to each | other and to their physical conditions of |
| 766.836 | to man have undoubtedly occurred, that | other variations useful in some way to each |
| 770.216 | and of procreating their kind? On the | other hand, we may feel sure that any |
| 778.1431 | are now so perfectly adapted to each | other and to the physical conditions under |
| 796.1012 | peaches far more than those with | other coloured flesh. If, with all the aids |
| 796.1228 | the trees would have to struggle with | other trees and with a host of enemies, such |

| 830.443 | country increased in numbers, or that | other prey had decreased in numbers, during |
| 830.804 | to master their prey at this or at some | other period of the year, when they might be |
| 830.870 | when they might be compelled to prey on | other animals. I can see no more reason to |
| 836.1559 | like form, which pursues deer, and the | other more bulky, with shorter legs, which |
| 846.643 | of pollen, and a rudimentary pistil; | other holly-trees bear only female flowers |
| 852.734 | by us, might profit a bee or | other insect, so that an individual so |
| 856.277 | constructed proboscis. On the | other hand, I have found by experiment that |
| 856.791 | either simultaneously or one after the | other, modified and adapted in the most |
| 856.854 | in the most perfect manner to each | other, by the continued preservation of |
| 864.708 | animals, all insects, and some | other large groups of animals, pair for each |
| 866.320 | fertility to the offspring; and on the | other hand, that close interbreeding |
| 872.140 | such as the following, which on any | other view are inexplicable. Every hybridizer |
| 872.666 | almost inevitable. Many flowers, on the | other hand, have their organs of |
| 872.1355 | and not carry pollen from one to the | other, to the great good, as I believe, of |
| 878.94 | pistil, or slowly move one after the | other towards it, the contrivance seems |
| 878.547 | or varieties are planted near each | other, it is hardly possible to raise pure |
| 878.645 | do they naturally cross. In many | other cases, far from there being any aids |
| 878.1476 | by bees, seeds freely. In very many | other cases, though there be no special |
| 882.502 | many cases be mutually useless to each | other! How simply are these facts explained |
| 884.64 | the cabbage, radish, onion, and of some | other plants, be allowed to seed near each |
| 884.107 | plants, be allowed to seed near each | other, a large majority, as I have found, of |
| 884.305 | different varieties growing near each | other, and of these only 78 were true to |
| 884.516 | six stamens, but by those of the many | other flowers on the same plant. How, then |
| 890.632 | their sexes more often separated than | other plants, I find to be the case in this |
| 890.839 | the result was as I anticipated. On the | other hand, Dr. Hooker has recently informed |
| 898.193 | though agreeing closely with each | other in almost their whole organisation, yet |
| 898.380 | do occasionally intercross with | other individuals, the difference between |
| 908.984 | there will be intercrossing with the | other individuals of the same species on the |
| 912.1025 | might subsequently slowly spread to | other districts. On the above principle |
| 912.1189 | as the chance of intercrossing with | other varieties is thus lessened.
Even in |
| 948.579 | the mutual relations of many of the | other inhabitants being thus disturbed |
| 948.950 | selection. I do not believe so. On the | other hand, I do believe that natural |
| 960.221 | plants are crowded together than in any | other quarter of the world, some foreign |
| 964.641 | into the severest competition with each | other. Consequently, each new variety or |
| 968.78 | new breeds of cattle, sheep, and | other animals, and varieties of flowers, take |
| 970.373 | them—yet certainly differ from each | other far less than do good and distinct |
| 976.1405 | to diverge in character both from each | other and from their common parent.
But how |
| 982.421 | on places at present occupied by | other animals: some of them, for instance |
| 982.1472 | selected which differed from each | other in at all the same manner as distinct |
| 982.1563 | and genera of grasses differ from each | other, a greater number of individual plants |
| 986.319 | when rendered very distinct from each | other, take the rank of species.
The truth |
| 988.642 | much these plants differed from each | other. So it is with the plants and insects |
| 988.1214 | into the closest competition with each | other, the advantages of diversification of |
| 988.1385 | the inhabitants, which thus jostle each | other most closely, shall, as a general rule |
| 996.295 | to have gained an advantage over the | other natives; and we may, I think, at least |
| 1002.653 | groups differing but little from each | other, and feebly representing, as Mr |
| 1004.282 | to encroach on places occupied by | other beings. Now let us see how this |
| 1006.200 | species are supposed to resemble each | other in unequal degrees, as is so generally |
| 1024.338 | A) more numerous than most of the | other inhabitants of the same country; they |
| 1026.425 | namely m2 and s2, differing from each | other, and more considerably from their |
| 1032.327 | unoccupied or not perfectly occupied by | other beings; and this will depend on |
| 1040.248 | but perhaps unequally, from each | other and from their common parent. If we |
| 1046.598 | rise to new varieties and species. The | other nine species (marked by capital letters |
| 1048.299 | advantage in the struggle for life over | other forms, there will be a constant |
| 1048.629 | which are most nearly related to each | other in habits, constitution, and structure |
| 1056.98 | genus were supposed to resemble each | other in unequal degrees, as is so generally |
| 1056.229 | related to B, C, and D, than to the | other species; and species (I) more to G, H |
| 1056.467 | had some advantage over most of the | other species of the genus. Their modified |
| 1056.1264 | which were least closely related to the | other nine original species, has transmitted |
| 1060.374 | moreover, will be allied to each | other in a widely different manner. Of the |
| 1060.740 | m14, will be nearly related one to the | other, but from having diverged at the first |
| 1060.864 | will be widely different from the | other five species, and may constitute a sub |
| 1070.268 | In this case, its affinities to the | other fourteen new species will be of a |
| 1080.242 | one form having some advantage over | other forms in the struggle for existence, it |
| 1090.358 | relations of all organic beings to each | other and to their conditions of existence |
| 1090.1460 | males alone, in their struggles with | other males.
Whether natural selection has |
| 1098.698 | and space should be related to each | other in group subordinate to group, in the |
| 1102.87 | clustered round points, and these round | other points, and so on in almost endless |
| 1104.528 | of species have tried to overmaster | other species in the great battle for life |
| 1104.1038 | branches, yet survive and bear all the | other branches; so with the species which |
| 1125.1093 | though not elsewhere fleshy. Several | other such cases could be given.
The fact of |
| 1131.31 | into the zone of habitation of | other species, often acquiring in a very |
| 1131.822 | colours for a warm sea; but that this | other shell became bright-coloured by |
| 1135.136 | as can well be conceived; and, on the | other hand, of different varieties being |
| 1147.359 | described as not having them. In some | other genera they are present, but in a |
| 1147.720 | and their rudimentary condition in some | other genera, by the long-continued effects |
| 1153.864 | not being blown out to sea; and, on the | other hand, those beetles which most readily |
| 1165.61 | size of the eyes; whereas with all the | other inhabitants of the caves, disuse by |
| 1167.522 | from the general resemblance of the | other inhabitants of North America and Europe |
| 1167.1314 | selection will often have effected | other changes, such as an increase in the |
| 1167.1536 | animals of America, affinities to the | other inhabitants of that continent, and in |
| 1171.226 | of the blind cave-animals to the | other inhabitants of the two continents on |
| 1171.482 | known relationship of most of their | other productions. Far from feeling any |
| 1177.327 | in their ranges by the competition of | other organic beings quite as much as, or |
| 1183.95 | an argument that a large proportion of | other animals, now in a state of nature |
| 1183.626 | and now have a far wider range than any | other rodent, living free under the cold |
| 1189.265 | must, I think, be due to habit. On the | other hand, I can see no reason to doubt that |
| 1197.230 | accumulated through natural selection, | other parts become modified. This is a very |
| 1211.775 | by drawing nourishment from certain | other parts of the flower had caused their |
| 1219.311 | after thousands of generations, some | other and independent modification; and these |
| 1225.217 | nature is forced to economise on the | other side." I think this holds true to a |

| 1771.186 | as the cell adjoins two, three or more | other cells. When one cell comes into contact |
| 1771.243 | one cell comes into contact with three | other cells, which, from the spheres being |

I may give one | other case: so confidently did I expect to |

| 1885.47 | is, also, strengthened by some few | other facts in regard to instincts; as by |

In regard to animals, much |

| 1972.500 | hybrids are remarkably sterile. On the | other hand, there are species which can be |
| 1980.236 | in distinct families; and on the | other hand, by very closely allied species |
| 1980.548 | with extreme difficulty; and on the | other hand of very distinct species which |

Several | other singular rules could be given from |

| 2002.38 | The foregoing rules and facts, on the | other hand, appear to me clearly to indicate |

| 2512.84 | with a blank interval in the | other,—and if in both regions the species |

| 2520.694 | at the present day from each | other by a dozen characters, the ancient |
| 2520.936 | period made some small approach to each | other.
It is a common belief that the more |
| 2522.159 | groups now widely separated from each | other. This remark no doubt must be |
| 2536.276 | be rendered less distinct from each | other. If, for instance, the genera a1, a5, a |
| 2536.1132 | be united into one family; and the two | other families (namely, a14 to f14 now |
| 2536.1299 | would be less distinct from each | other than they were before the
[page |
| 2540.115 | of the two families to differ from each | other by a dozen characters, in this case the |
| 2542.680 | make some slight approach to each | other; so that the older members should |
| 2542.742 | members should differ less from each | other in some of their characters than do the |
| 2544.140 | of the extinct forms of life to each | other and to living forms, seem to me |
| 2544.254 | And they are wholly inexplicable on any | other view.
On this same theory, it is |
| 2556.38 | supposing for an instant, in this and | other such cases, that the record of the |
| 2558.271 | are far more closely related to each | other, than are the fossils from two remote |
| 2570.161 | advantage in the struggle for life over | other and preceding forms. If under a nearly |
| 2570.350 | inhabitants of the same or some | other quarter, the eocene fauna or flora |
| 2570.1293 | exterminate many of the natives. On the | other hand, from what we see now occurring in |
| 2576.472 | which have branched off from each | other within comparatively recent times. For |
| 2578.400 | a slight degree less distinct from each | other than are the typical members of the |

and, on the | other hand, by similarity of conditions, for |
| 2590.280 | in Australia; or that Edentata and | other American types should have been solely |
| 2596.72 | I suppose that the megatherium and | other allied huge monsters have left behind |
| 2596.419 | which are closely allied in size and in | other characters to the species still living |
| 2596.812 | next succeeding formation there be six | other allied or representative genera with |
| 2596.1026 | constituting the six new genera. The | other seven species of the old genera have |
| 2596.1278 | the parents of the six new genera; the | other old species and the other whole genera |
| 2596.1304 | genera; the other old species and the | other whole genera having become utterly |
| 2610.41 | from these difficulties, all the | other great leading facts in palæontology |
| 2622.308 | are more closely allied to each | other, than are those of remote formations |
| 2626.258 | greatly diminished or disappear. On the | other hand, all the chief laws of |
| 2637.251 | be accounted for by their climatal and | other physical conditions. Of late, almost |
| 2643.529 | more closely related to each | other, than they are to the productions of |
| 2645.759 | are almost as much isolated from each | other as is possible. On each continent, also |
| 2651.681 | in parallel lines not far from each | other, under corresponding climates; but from |
| 2651.753 | but from being separated from each | other by impassable barriers, either of land |
| 2651.844 | sea, they are wholly distinct. On the | other hand, proceeding still further westward |
| 2657.506 | yet clearly related, replace each | other. He hears from closely allied, yet |
| 2657.1430 | of the American type. Innumerable | other instances could be given. If we look to |
| 2663.189 | the case of varieties nearly like each | other. The dissimilarity of the inhabitants |
| 2669.438 | stand in direct competition with each | other, migrate in a body into a new and |
| 2669.706 | organisms into new relations with each | other, and in a lesser degree with the |
| 2671.593 | of migration is possible. But in many | other cases, in which we have reason to |
| 2677.795 | two points so distant from each | other, or with an interval of such a nature |
| 2677.1072 | mammals, than perhaps in any | other organic beings; and, accordingly, we |
| 2681.664 | have not been able to migrate to the | other side. Some few families, many sub |
| 2681.963 | are most closely related to each | other, are generally local, or confined to |
| 2683.40 | Hence it seems to me, as it has to many | other naturalists, that the view of each |
| 2683.412 | could have passed from one point to the | other. But the geographical and climatal |
| 2693.65 | some former period immigrants from this | other region, my theory will be strengthened |
| 2695.502 | which will never have blended with | other individuals or varieties, but will have |
| 2695.564 | but will have supplanted each | other; so that, at each successive stage of |
| 2699.547 | slightly from the horses of every | other breed; but they do not owe their |

with each | other, and with the many existing oceanic |
| 2711.428 | and the depth of the sea,—these and | other such facts seem to me opposed to the |
| 2711.1042 | islands would have been formed, like | other mountain-summits, of granite |
| 2711.1120 | schists, old fossiliferous or | other such rocks, instead of consisting of |
| 2723.505 | action of the salt-water. On the | other hand he did not previously dry the |
| 2723.1273 | could hardly be transported by any | other means; and Alph. de Candolle has shown |
| 2743.490 | in comparison with the plants of | other oceanic islands nearer to the mainland |
| 2743.940 | found large fragments of granite and | other rocks, which do not occur in the |
| 2745.72 | means of transport, and that several | other means, which without doubt remain to be |
| 2753.44 | immigrants from Europe or any | other continent, that a poorly-stocked island |
| 2755.119 | mountain-summits, separated from each | other by hundreds of miles of lowlands, where |
| 2755.370 | their having migrated from one to the | other. It is indeed a remarkable fact to see |
| 2773.484 | of Europe and America, that when in | other regions we find the same species on |
| 2773.583 | summits, we may almost conclude without | other evidence, that a colder climate |
| 2781.119 | on mountain ranges distant from each | other, and have survived there ever since |
| 2783.778 | and New Worlds are separated from each | other by the Atlantic Ocean and by the |
| 2793.609 | were more closely related to each | other than they are at the present time; for |
| 2795.219 | have been completely cut off from each | other. This separation, as far as the more |

| 2855.260 | part of Europe, though hides, wool, and | other objects likely to carry seeds have been |
| 2863.623 | confined to the south, at these and | other distant points of the southern |
| 2880.51 | river-systems are separated from each | other by barriers of land, it might have been |
| 2886.650 | having caused rivers to flow into each | other. Instances, also, could be given of |
| 2892.899 | one with fresh-water shells from the | other. But another agency is perhaps more |
| 2892.1693 | sea to an oceanic island or to any | other distant point. Sir Charles Lyell also |
| 2904.0 | of the smaller fresh-water animals.
| Other and unknown agencies probably have also |
| 2904.146 | kinds of seeds, though they reject many | other kinds after having swallowed them; even |
| 2904.291 | water-lily and Potamogeton. Herons and | other birds, century after century, have gone |
| 2904.394 | fish; they then take flight and go to | other waters, or are blown across the sea |
| 2916.826 | of dispersal; but shall consider some | other facts, which bear on the truth of the |
| 2918.755 | numbers, and the comparison in some | other respects is not quite fair. We have |
| 2922.89 | they have on New Zealand and on every | other oceanic island which can be named. In |
| 2928.88 | easily than land-birds. Bermuda, on the | other hand, which lies at about the same |
| 2928.816 | have become mutually adapted to each | other; and when settled in their new homes |
| 2930.108 | places are apparently occupied by the | other inhabitants; in the Galapagos Islands |
| 2936.439 | be transported to an island by some | other means; and the plant then becoming |
| 2936.1285 | taller and taller and overtopping the | other plants. If so, natural selection would |
| 2948.695 | of endemic species belonging to | other classes; and on continents it is |
| 2948.799 | and disappear at a quicker rate than | other and lower animals. Though terrestrial |
| 2948.1217 | creative force produced bats and no | other mammals on remote islands? On my view |
| 2954.1142 | time to follow up this subject in all | other quarters of the world; but as far as I |
| 2972.404 | voice, was manifest. So it is with the | other animals, and with nearly all the plants |
| 2972.1245 | in all these respects. On the | other hand, there is a considerable degree of |
| 2978.168 | those of the nearest continent, or of | other near islands. The exceptions are few |
| 2978.708 | the nearest mainland, than to any | other region: and this is what might have |
| 2978.1009 | both New Zealand, South America, and | other southern lands were long ago partially |
| 2984.500 | an incomparably closer degree to each | other than to the inhabitants of any other |
| 2984.537 | other than to the inhabitants of any | other part of the world. And this is just |
| 2984.663 | the islands are situated so near each | other that they would almost certainly |
| 2984.765 | the same original source, or from each | other. But this dissimilarity between the |
| 2984.981 | islands situated within sight of each | other, having the same geological nature, the |
| 2984.1412 | be disputed that the nature of the | other inhabitants, with which each has to |
| 2984.1628 | Archipelago which are found in | other parts of the world (laying on one side |
| 2990.208 | islands have not quickly spread to the | other islands. But the islands, though in |
| 2990.264 | the islands, though in sight of each | other, are separated by deep arms of the sea |
| 2990.629 | more effectually separated from each | other than they appear to be on a map |
| 2990.722 | good many species, both those found in | other parts of the world and those confined |
| 2998.644 | spread from island to island. In many | other instances, as in the several districts |
| 3004.358 | the caves of America and of Europe. | Other analogous facts could be given. And it |
| 3006.210 | at remote points of the world of | other species allied to it, is shown in |
| 3024.116 | within the recent period, and of | other similar changes which may have occurred |
| 3032.1515 | or less direct competition with each | other and with the aborigines; and according |
| 3038.374 | should have all its species common to | other quarters of the world. We can see why |
| 3038.944 | should be closely related to each | other, and likewise be related, but less |
| 3038.1031 | to those of the nearest continent or | other source whence immigrants were probably |
| 3038.1140 | in two areas, however distant from each | other, there should be a correlation, in the |
| 3044.1735 | they will generally stand to each | other in time and space; in both cases the |
| 3057.75 | beings are found to resemble each | other in descending degrees, so that they can |
| 3057.1022 | of inheritance, tend to produce | other new and dominant

| 3075.285 | together the forms most like each | other. It might have been thought (and was in |

| 3141.573 | however much they may differ from each | other and from the adult; as he likewise |
| 3145.236 | bears, and what should we do with the | other species? The supposition is of course |
| 3145.522 | with bears; but then assuredly all the | other species of the kangaroo family would |

| 3173.857 | are generally very distinct from each | other, which again implies extinction. The |
| 3179.1055 | of its ancient progenitor than have | other Rodents; and therefore it will not be |
| 3179.1312 | of an early member of the group. On the | other hand, of all Marsupials, as Mr |
| 3185.513 | will consequently be related to each | other by circuitous lines of affinity of |
| 3187.272 | other—for instance, of birds from all | other vertebrate animals—by the belief that |
| 3187.470 | with the early progenitors of the | other vertebrate classes. There has been less |
| 3187.635 | There has been still less in some | other classes, as in that of the Crustacea |
| 3191.305 | each group could be distinguished from | other groups, as all would blend together by |
| 3203.114 | of their habits of life, resemble each | other in the general plan of their |
| 3211.217 | affecting by correlation of growth | other parts of the organisation. In changes |
| 3215.481 | parts, by the soldering together of | other parts, and by the doubling or |
| 3217.1019 | in embryonic crustaceans and in many | other animals, and in flowers, that organs |
| 3231.459 | of any one part, as we find in the | other great classes of the animal and |
| 3233.377 | been metamorphosed, not one from the | other, but from some common element |
| 3239.583 | flies, beetles, &c., resemble each | other much more closely than do the mature |
| 3239.899 | allied genera, often resemble each | other in their first and second plumage; as |
| 3241.106 | animals of the same class resemble each | other, often have no direct relation to their |
| 3247.585 | quite as much, or even more, from each | other than do their adult parents. In most |
| 3251.1850 | and is destitute of mouth, stomach, or | other organ of importance, excepting for |
| 3255.573 | of animals and in certain members of | other groups, the embryo does not at any |
| 3257.419 | but not universally, resembling each | other;—of the structure of the embryo not |
| 3263.251 | indeed the evidence rather points the | other way; for it is notorious that breeders |
| 3267.526 | animals supports this view. But in | other cases it is quite possible that each |
| 3275.89 | far their puppies differed from each | other: I was told by breeders that they |
| 3277.777 | them could be distinguished from each | other, yet their proportional differences in |
| 3281.160 | of the wild rock-pigeon and of the | other breeds, in all its proportions, almost |
| 3289.94 | will manifestly tend to resemble each | other much more closely than do the adults |
| 3289.706 | parent-species will still resemble each | other closely, for they will not have been |
| 3289.1124 | use on the one hand, and disuse on the | other, may have in modifying an organ, such |
| 3295.1026 | is perhaps requisite. If, on the | other hand, it profited the young to follow |

| 3392.1071 | forms, lessen fertility; and on the | other hand, lesser changes in the conditions |
| 3404.182 | and of which the climate and | other conditions of life change insensibly in |
| 3412.1665 | Local varieties will not spread into | other and distant regions until they are |
| 3416.380 | formations are separated from each | other by enormous blank intervals of time |
| 3418.638 | being much more closely related to each | other, than are the fossils from formations |
| 3418.700 | from formations distant from each | other in time.
Such is the sum of the |
| 3426.23 | modification.
Now let us turn to the | other side of the argument. Under |
| 3426.930 | infinite number of generations. On the | other hand we have evidence that variability |
| 3438.88 | into the closest competition with each | other, the struggle will generally be most |
| 3454.495 | of varieties; for they differ from each | other by a less amount of difference than do |
| 3454.705 | are clustered in little groups round | other species—in which respects they resemble |
| 3464.5 | created, no man can explain.
Many | other facts are, as it seems to me |
| 3464.492 | an auk or grebe! and so on in endless | other cases. But on the view of each
[page |
| 3470.956 | the live bodies of caterpillars; and at | other such cases. The wonder indeed is, on |
| 3476.541 | so that when one part has been modified | other parts are necessarily modified. In both |
| 3478.173 | of the same genus differ from each | other, be more variable than the generic |
| 3478.360 | in any one species of a genus, if the | other species, supposed to have been created |
| 3478.823 | to be specifically distinct from each | other;
[page] 474 RECAPITULATION. CHAP. XIV |
| 3482.760 | and yet not be more variable than any | other structure, if the part be common to |
| 3488.341 | mistakes, and at many instincts causing | other animals to suffer.
If species be only |
| 3490.227 | parents,—in being absorbed into each | other by successive crosses, and in other |
| 3490.263 | other by successive crosses, and in | other such points,—as do the crossed |
| 3490.344 | of acknowledged varieties. On the | other hand, these would be strange facts if |
| 3496.1104 | Australia, of edentata in America, and | other such cases,—is intelligible, for within |
| 3502.1064 | period completely separated from each | other; for as the relation of organism to |
| 3502.1241 | from some third source or from each | other, at various periods and in different |
| 3504.332 | oceanic islands; and why, on the | other hand, new and peculiar species of bats |
| 3508.68 | species of bats, and the absence of all | other mammals, on oceanic islands, are |
| 3510.722 | of Juan Fernandez, and of the | other American islands being related in the |
| 3510.899 | of the Cape de Verde archipelago and | other African islands to the African mainland |
| 3518.215 | and of the elephant,—and innumerable | other such facts, at once explain themselves |
| 3532.94 | that one species has given birth to | other and distinct species, is that we are |

| 3540.615 | they refuse to extend the same view to | other and very slightly different forms |

| 548.1434 | years ago, when comparing, and seeing | others compare, the birds from the separate |

Alph. De Candolle and | others have shown that plants which have very |
| 731.844 | the most fertile, will beat the | others and so yield more seed, and will |
| 770.130 | any advantage, however slight, over | others, would have the best chance of |

| 1167.338 | been expected; but, as Schiodte and | others have remarked, this is not the case |
| 1189.573 | withstand certain climates better than | others: this is very strikingly shown in works |
| 1189.743 | recommended for the northern, and | others for the southern States; and as most of |
| 1189.1790 | some seedlings appeared to be than | others.
On the whole, I think we may conclude |
| 1203.248 | in the shape of their kidneys. | Others believe that the shape of the pelvis in |
| 1205.179 | very frequently, and that | others rarely coexist, without our being able |

| 1412.612 | all either prey on or serve as prey for | others; in short, that each organic being is |

| 2759.41 | this same belief, had not Agassiz and | others called vivid attention to the Glacial |
| 2799.202 | rank as geographical races, and | others as distinct species; and a host of |
| 2833.588 | as specifically distinct, by | others as varieties; but some are certainly |
| 2857.403 | the reason why certain species and not | others have migrated;

| 2861.87 | given rise to new groups of forms, and | others have remained unaltered. We cannot hope |
| 2892.540 | which I have observed—and no doubt many | others remain to be observed—throw some light |
| 2928.897 | each kind will have been kept by the | others to their proper places and habits, and |
| 2994.117 | spread from some one island to the | others. But we often take, I think, an |

| 3044.966 | some organisms differ little, whilst | others belonging to a different class, or to a |

| 1400.1093 | its past and present states. Hence we | ought not to expect at the
