reveal a remarkable instinctive rationality. It requires, certainly, 

 rational efforts to adopt such forms, which teleologically have to 

 result in the computed effect; then, if one individual intends to 

 adopt a form of pose, gesture or sound to demonstrate to another 

 individual the significance of the prevailing effect or motive, it 

 must calculate upon or test the comprehensive power and sus- 

 ceptibility of the co-respondent to be, and in coincidence with this, 

 that demonstrative individual is enabled to modify the adapta- 

 tions of the forms of expressions. 



As an example, the male cricket, in order to demonstrate to 

 a distant female the motive of a prevailing effect, is impelled to 

 develop sounds for which the physical structure it fitted ; it has no 

 vocal organs naturally it develops stridulating organs to pro- 

 duce sounds, which are reaching the co-respondent by distance. 



Moreover, the male cricket must also calculate the effect of 

 vibration, which is required for the susceptibility of the female; 

 furthermore, the male cricket must also test the hearing faculty of 

 the female co-respondent; and then only after this, the demonstra- 

 tive male cricket is capable to develop and adopt forms of expres- 

 sion by which it can communicate by distance. Furthermore, it 

 does not seem obvious that such a demonstrative male cricket is 

 thus mentally qualified to deduct and calculate obj ectively from the 

 scoped point or from the results of efficiency for the object of an 

 adaptation. Therefore, it seems more apparent that such a mani- 

 festation bases merely upon a transcendental intercourse; that is, 

 to detect transcendentally the requirable faculties in the other, 

 and then, according to them, to adopt a modus of expression. 



It is also apparent that the manifestations of demonstrative 

 expression, through the agency of gesture and sounds, are be- 

 ginning where the state of physical constitution is most adapted 

 for this purpose ; and that only the most simple forms of organic 

 life are mostly adapted for transcendental inter-communication, 

 for the simple reason that their anatomical structure would not 

 allow any modification of forms to demonstrate and express pre- 

 vailing effects. 



But this silent and simple modus of inter-communication 

 would not be available for the necessities of superior organic 

 beings. The more they ascend the climax of physical development, 

 the more and various are the necessities of life, and, consequently,
