To institute a species, all that is required is to omit, or cause to disappear, or cease to grow, some parts of the organ or apparatus already exist- ing in the generic being. In every natural family there is a species which bears, to the generic animal, that is, to the young, a stronger resemblance than â 4 any other. In the salmonidae it is the common trout of freshwater rivers, but there may be others. In the solipede it seems to be the quagga of Southern £ Africa. We can by no means accept Dr. Knox's specillations on the eternity of the material universe, since the facts of geology afford a complete refutation of his idea of continuous descent. We are therefore released from the duty of adducing m this place any argu- ments to subvert his theories on this bead. Profs. Owen and Agassiz both ignore the possibility of connecting the extinct with present races, by lineal series. With this caution, Dr. Knox's conclu- sions and observations, carried on carefully for some time in the class fish, entirely corroborate and explain why we should expect to find the re-introduction of extinct forms, either with some variations, or as transitory forms, which idealise their connexion with the past, and furnish cogent proof that the same Divine Mind has been ever engaged in the works of nature.
