" The following paragraphs seem to be an interpolation. 

 They interrupt the argument ; further definitions are h^re 

 inappropriate, and one of those here given is incorrect. 

 Besides, Aristotle does not in the Generation of Animals 

 make the distinction between yovri and anepfjLa. These 

 definitions seem to have been put in here because the fol- 

 lowing passage contains some definitions.
