66 EVOLUTION OF MIND 



of might, strength, or power. This implies, in insects that 

 are governed by queens, respect for, worship or adoration of, 

 royalty. 



20. Sociality or sociability, including the formation and 

 enjoyment of companionships with other individuals, genera, 

 and species, involving domestic harmony. 



21. Co-operation, on the principle that union gives 

 strength, implying an appreciation of the necessity for or 

 value of mutual aid. 



22. Esthetic taste the perception of beauty in form, 

 colour, and sound. 



23. Use of natural tools and weapons for instance, in the 

 capture of prey. Thus the sea-nettles, sea-blubbers, sea- 

 jellies, or jelly-fish various genera and species of Medu- 

 sidce, belonging to the Coslenterata benumb their prey or 

 their enemies by stinging with their thread cells. 



24. Phosphorescence of certain Medusidce under irritation 

 or excitement (Nicholson), just as the octopus exhibits 

 colour-play, like the chameleon. 



25. Perception, if not even the enjoyment, of musical 

 cadence and rhythm in certain Crustacea (Darwin) and 

 Insecta. 



26. Observation, in the form especially of watchfulness 

 over the movements of prey or of enemies, and including 

 investigation, examination, survey, and search for food or 

 domicile; implying also a perception of external relations 

 or conditions, as well as a recognition of each other, of 

 friends and foes, and even of man ; and the discrimination 

 of differences, which involves a comparison of one thing with 

 another. 



27. General energy or vivacity, even in apparently so 

 sluggish an animal as the earth-worm (Jesse). In such 

 insects as the ant it is very conspicuous in the form of 

 industry in the various trades in which they are engaged, 

 or in eagerness in carrying off prisoners, prey, or other 

 booty. 



28. Physical sensitiveness to 



a. Weather changes, and all the separate influ- 

 ences they involve.
