facts (3. p. 139), which, he says, tend to show that the 
bleaching of the body and atrophy of the eyes, as well as the 
adaptation to a life in darkness, may have been induced after 
but a few generations, perhaps but one or two only, resulting 
in the comparatively rapid evolution of cave-species; but I 
am unaware of any facts to shed light upon the possible 
length of time that might ensue to regain organs that have 
suffered decadence.
