Moreover, when the time is coming that, owing to the growth 

 of the body, the crab has to look for another more suitable shell 

 or house, it works carefully with its claws to remove the anemone 

 from her old position in order to accommodate her migration 

 over to the new tenement. 



Now, taking into consideration the extremely different physi- 

 cal organization of these two individuals, we will observe that 

 there is not the slightest possibility to communicate and confer on 

 the basis of inherited forms, by which they could demonstrate 

 their motives, in order to effect thereby an understanding; avail- 

 able modes of gestures, poses or sound-producing are here fully 

 excluded. The notion, viz., motive, to improve his condition must 

 originate from the crab, though, according to anatomical struc- 

 ture, he is the more positive and obejctive individual than the sim- 

 ple-formed, passive, stationary sea anemone. Hence, the rational 

 impulse of the crab is apparently powerful enough to effect an 

 impression upon the anemone, to subject to his rational influence. 

 Furthermore, it is obvious that the crab is reasoning from the 

 effects of its inconvenient condition and discovering intuitive 

 remedy in the co-operation with the anemone, that is, that her 

 particular condition in life would render benefit for his welfare. 

 On the other hand, this must be the same with the anemone, 

 which also intuitively understands the motive of the crab to be 

 beneficial for her welfare; finally, she subjects to the motive of 

 the crab and allies with the latter. 



RATIONAL POSING ATTITUDES. 



The posing attitude of the male peacock before the female, in 

 displaying his splendid plumage, is also a particular form of 

 demonstrative expression to call the attention of the female in 

 order to communicate with her about conjugal affairs. The way 

 he displays his plumage indicates plainly that he is conscious of 

 its imposing beauty and its charming effects manifested upon the 

 feelings of the female. 



Analogous to this, the male pheasant (poliplectron) poses 

 before his mate in order to excite conjugal affection. Now, con- 

 cluding from these rational manifestations, it is apparent that 

 both, the peacock and the pheasant, are reasoning intuitively 

 (instinctively) from the emotional disposition of their respective
