BIOLOGY IN ITS WIDER ASPECTS 1383 



Yet as of these eight sub-sciences the first four are static, morpho- 

 logical, and non-living, in the four fields of life in its functioning 

 we need a further notation for the life-process itself, i.e. for ecology 

 and racial evolution, for physiology and individual development; 

 and besides these, for their analogues among the social sub-sciences. 

 Finally, one other point. If our outline-notation proposed for 

 these life-processes be found rational and applicable, may it 

 not even be found suggestive towards such "organismal" treatment 

 in strictly mathematico-physical problems as Whitehead and 

 others are on the way to? An attempt towards this therefore con- 

 cludes our notational chapter; for, after all, each and every 

 science has arisen in and from social life with its human needs; and 

 so still may profit by that general point of view, as well as advance 

 upon its own specialised ones.
