GEORGE J. ROMANES'S WORKS. 



MENTAL EVOLUTION IN MAN : Origin of Human Faculty, 



One vol., 8vo. Cloth, $3.00. 



This work, which follows "Mental Evolution in Animals," by the same au 

 ihor, considers the probable mode of genesis of the human mind from the mind 

 of lower animals, and attempts to show that there is no distinction of kind be- 

 tween man and brute, but, on the contrary, that such distinctions as do exist all 

 admit of being explained, with respect to their evolution, by adequate psycho- 

 logical analysis. 



" The vast array of facts, and the sober and solid method of argument em- 

 ployed by Mr. Romanes, will prove, we think, a great gift to knowledge." 

 Saturday Beview. 



JELLY-FISH, STAR-FISH, AND SEA-URCHINS. Being 

 a Research on Primitive Nervous Systems. 12mo. Cloth, $1.75. 



M Although I have throughout kept in view the requirements of a general 

 realer, I have also sought to render the book of service to the working physi- 

 ologist, by bringing together in one consecutive account all the more important 

 observations and results which have been yielded by this research." Extract 

 from Preface. 



u A profound research into the laws of primitive nervous systems conducted 

 by one of the ablest English investigators. Mr. Romanes set up a tent on the 

 beach and examined his beautiful pets for six summers in succession. Such 

 patient and loving work has borne its fruits in a monograph which leaves noth- 

 ing to be said about jelly-fish, star-fish, and sea-urchins. Every one who has 

 studied the lowest forms of life on the sea-shore admires these objects. But few 

 have any idea of the exquisite delicacy of their structure and their nice adapta- 

 tion to their place in nature. Mr. Romanes brings out the subtile beauties of 

 the rudimentary organisms, and shows the resemblances they bear to the higher 

 types of creation. Hi-< explanations are made more clear by a large number of 

 illustrations." New York Journal of Commerce. 



ANIMAL INTELLIGENCE. 12mo. Cloth, $1.75. 



"A collection of facts which, though it may merely amuse the unscientific 

 reader, will be a real boon to the student of comparative psychology, for this ia 

 the first attempt to present systematically the well-assured results of observa- 

 tion on the mental life of animals." Saturday Review. 



MENTAL EVOLUTION IN ANIMALS. With a Posthumous 

 Essay on Instinct, by Charles Darwin. 12mo. Cloth, $2.00. 



"Mr. Romanes has followed up his careful enumeration of the facts of Ani- 

 mal Intelligence,'' contributed to the 'International Scientific Series,' with a 

 work dealing with the successive stages at which the various mental phenomena 

 appear in the scale of life. The present installment displays the sirne evidence 

 of industry in collecting facts and caution in co-ordinating them bj theory as the 

 former." The Athenceum.
