14 LIFE AND DEATH. 



G. von Bunge, well known for his researches in physio- 

 logical chemistry, professes animistic views in a work 

 which appeared in 1889. He attributes to organized 

 beings a guiding principle, a kind of vital soul. A 

 distinguished naturalist, Rindfleisch, of Lubeck, has 

 likewise taken his place among the advocates of what 

 we may call neo-animism.
