On the Genesis OF Species. By John Mivart
F. X. s. New York: ID. Appleton & Co. This

say, the survival in the struggle for existence OF
those variations OF kind most tenacious of life
Prof. Miyart while giving praise to Darwin and
wallace for their invaluable labOrs, holds tn At
the special Dsrwinian hypothesis is beset with
scientific difficulties, some of which he believes
to be insuperable and these he sets forth in this
work. he holds, for instance, that Natural
Selection" is incompetent TO account for the in
cipien stages of useful structures; that It does
not harmonize with the co-existence OF closely
objection drawn from the physiological differ
ence between species" and traces" still exist
unrefuted &c, &c.
