THE ORIGIN OF SPECIES AND

GENERA.
Alfred r. Wallace, in January Einstssnth Century.
The meaning Of the term--now be-
come a household word in. science
"the origin Of species" is often entire
" misunderstood. Itis very generally
thought to mean the origin Of life and
Of living things; and people are sur
prised and almost incredulous when
told that Mr.. Darwin himself, in the
latest edition Of his celebrated work,
still refers that origin to divine agen-
cy. Such, however, is undoubtedly
the case, as shown by the following
passage, which concludes the volume:
There is grandenrs in this view of
life, with its several powers, having
been originally breathed bv the Crea-
tor, into few forms or int, one; and
that, while this planet has gone cy-
cling on according to the fixed laws of
gravity, from SO simple a beginning
endless forms, most beautiful and most
wonderful, have been are are being
evolved
The mistake above alluded to has
arisen from ignorance Of the meaning
of the word Species" the origin Of
which Mr. Darwin undertakes to show.
A species may be defined as a group
Of individuals of animals or plants
which breed together freely and repro
duce their like; whence it follows that
all the individuals Of species, now
living or which have lived, have de-
cended from few common ancestors.
or perhaps from single pair. Thus
all horses, whether Shetland ponies,
racers, or cart-horses, from one species,
because they freely breed together, and
are known to have all decended from
a common stock.
By the same test the common ass.
the kang, the quagga, and all the ze-
bra are each shown to be distinct spe.
ces: for sometimes two of these spe-
.cies will breed together, they do not
SO freely; they do not reprodue their
like, but an intermediate form called
a mule, and these mules are not capa-
bic of producing their kind, as are the
offspring of any pairs Of a single spe-
cies. What Mr. Darwin did was to
prove, by an overwhelming array of
evidence and connected chain of IT.
reslstibIe argument, that, just as all
horses and all asses have each des,
cended from few common ancestors
50 have all asses, horses, quaggas. and
Zebras descended from much more
remote common ancestral from; and
that the same thing has occurred with
every group of ailled species. This is
the "origin of species" by descent with
ms diiication, CT, in other words, by
evolution; while national selection"
was the term applied to the set of ma
tural causes which formed the motive
power and guiding principles by which
