BIOLOGY. 



same systems in plants, is ground sufficient for assuming 

 also the parallelism of the other organs. 



2009. If the root be compared with the intestine, 

 then the stalk, as being the medium of the vascular sys- 

 tem, must be regarded as heart. 



2010. The bark will correspond to the skin, the liber 

 to the veins, the wood as a tracheal body to the arteries. 



2011. The vegetable tissue will be transformed into 

 the lowest organs of the animal ; the cells into the mu- 

 cous tissue, the intercellular passages into the lacteal 

 vessels, the trachea, or spiral vessels, into the lowest kind 

 of respiratory tubes or the cutaneo-lympliatic vessels. We 

 have accordingly the following parallel series :

2012. As in the blossom the light allows the whole 

 vegetable trunk to be once more developed, though 

 with coloured signs or marks of distinction, so also is 

 the animal body taken up into the sense of light, and 

 the vegetative systems are elevated unto light- or rather 

 aether-systems. 



2013. A new animal originates upon the old animal 

 and is equivalent to it. Every perfect animal is
