Illustrations q tho perfection OF instinct as en-
hibited BY very young animals. or by animals
without individual experience Of tho circum-
stances to which their instructive actions are
adapted. He also exemplifles tho imuerfec-
ttons OF instinct. especially In cases where 1t is
slowly evolved. as. for instance. in young tur-
Keys pointing at flies. in young chickens half
AFRAID OF bees. In rabbits only toddlng instead
OF running away from weasels or in young
children learning to balance the head and to
walk. A great deal OF evidence Is adduced to
snow that instincts may. as regards their
origin. be either primary or secondary. may
arise. that Is to say. either by natural
selection fixing on purposeless habits which
chance to DO profitable. so converting
these habits into instincts without intel
ligence being ever concerned in the process.
or by habits originally intelligent becoming

primary instinct We are pointed to incubation.
