142 CLASSIFICATION OF THE FORMS OF THE PRINCIPLES. 



of the organic group, as, for example, geological subsidence, or causes 

 resulting in transportation to an isolated position. 



Autonomic selection cooperating with autonomic isolation produces 

 autonomic generation; and heteronomic selection cooperating with 

 heteronomic isolation produces heteronomic generation. 



Autonomic election includes endonomic election, produced by the 

 success of different acquired methods of dealing with the environment, 

 and reflexive election, produced by the social promotion or suppression 

 of individuals according to the success of their habits in relation to 

 others of the same group. It is in contrast with heteronomic election, 

 which is determined by conditions outside of the organic group. 



Autonomic partition includes endonomic partition and reflexive 

 partition, and secures the grouping of individuals as regards their 

 habitudes, through the influence of activities that lie within each asso- 

 ciating group. It is in contrast with heteronomic partition, which is 

 the grouping of individuals as regards their habitudes, through the 

 influence of activities in the environment. 



Autonomic partition combining with autonomic election produces 

 autonomic association; and heteronomic partition combining with 

 heteronomic election produces heteronomic association. 



Habitudinal intensification may arise from activities entirely within 

 the group of organisms, of which social promotion and social suppres- 

 sion* of habitudes are familiar examples, and the combined effects of 

 these activities on the habitudes of the group is appropriately called 

 autonomic election ; but we need a term to designate the combined 

 influence of autonomic election and autonomic selection, producing 

 the intensification of inherited aptitudes, in addition to the intensifica- 

 tion of acquired habitudes. Such a term is autonomic intensification. 

 It signifies the molding of types by activities within the intergene- 

 rating and associating group. In contrast with autonomic intensifi- 

 cation, we have intensification produced by the combined action of 

 heteronomic election and heteronomic selection, which may appro- 

 priately be called heteronomic intensification. 



The cooperation of autonomic partition and autonomic isolation 

 I call autonomic demarcation; and 'the cooperation of heteronomic 

 partition and heteronomic isolation I call heteronomic demarcation. 



The cooperation of autonomic intensification with autonomic 

 demarcation produces autonomic segregation; and the cooperation of 

 heteronomic intensification with heteronomic demarcation produces 

 heteronomic segregation. 



* Baldwin defines social suppression as "Suppression of the socially unfittest by 

 law, custom, etc." (See "Social and Ethical Interpretations," Appendix B.)
