136 Animal Morphology. 



The principle, then, of evergency, or turning outwards as 

 vegetables, which grow by the root much less than outwardly 

 from the earth is apparently implanted upon nature 

 generally, with here and there exceptions ; and it is the same 

 principle which is implanted upon all the senses. For in their 

 bond of mutual recognition or brain-consciousness, the sense 

 apparatus, in all, is external to the centre storehouse or 

 emporium of consciousness. 



Observing, then, that the emporium or brain itself reflects 

 the entire product of all the senses by an impressible power, 

 which, as by a looking-glass, exactly duplicated the external 

 recognizers, or sense apparatus or limbs, it was inferred 

 that that principle of duplication must be the true and 

 exact counterpart to evergency ; and as a consequence the 

 principle of conscious reflexion, or re-duplication of the 

 senses in the form of consciousness we say, as a true 

 counterpart to evergency the brain function which stamps 

 itself by the power or principle of consciousness, is correctly 

 counterparted by the principle of invergency. 



As, then, muscle and tendon are under the regulation and 

 direction of the senses, and as the senses peripherally and 

 centrally are specially modified to receive impressions from 

 special stimuli as air, colours, odours, etc., etc. and by 

 tubing convey impressions from one to the other, as from the 

 periphery to the centre, according to fixed laws of reciprocity, 

 so in that reciprocity from the centre, metamorphosed muscle 

 or brain is identified to be the chief agent of direct sympathy 

 between muscles and the senses (and also from the spinal 

 cord) ; therefore, between these tissues there must be a close 

 identity of structural origin, as they have such an entire 

 identity in their aiding, carrying out, and perfecting each 

 other's functions. 



It is therefore inferred that white conducting fibres are 

 analogues of the tendons and the sarcolemma of muscles ;
