8 8. — The Organism mid its GrowtJi 



The reader, I trust, will now have gained a new 

 conception of any individual form of life. It consists of 

 a number of parts, organs or characters, capable of being 

 measured, weighed, or counted. They thus have a 

 quantitative value. By examining a great number of 

 individuals of the same form of life, we find the types, 

 variabilities, and correlations of as many of these organs 

 or characters as we choose. Thus mean, variability. 



* All these values are only approximate ; they alter with sex and with 

 race, but they will serve to illustrate the important principle, that if one 

 organ be selected, the whole organism changes. The above numerical results 

 are extracted from data, in great part yet unpublished, reduced by the author 

 and his collaborators at University College.
