The hand and the foot are radically the same organs, not only in the same body but in all bodies ; and the law which differences these to an infinitude of special character is one of a phaseal quantita- tive degradation, and just as from the integer 9 may be proportioned the quantities 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. The distal segments of the scapulary and pelvic members are differenced by the ope- ration of two laws, viz. that which subtracts quantity by its annihilation, and that which fuses plural elements into single parts. In Jig. 486, B. the hands of the sloth present, nu- merically, various different stages of develop- ment. In the immature being, the parts 1, 2, 3, 4, correspond to the metacarpo-phalangeal series of the human fingers; whereas, in the adult animal, fitness requires that the elements 2, 3 should fuse into the bone 2, and thus duality becomes unity. On the contrary, in fg. A. we find the metacarpo-phalangeal series numbering as many as eight distinct elements holding permanently separate; and I may remark, as a curious fact, that this series of eight elemental parts corresponds Fig. Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Todd, Robert Bentley, 1809-1860.
