CREATION BY LAW. 265 



divided hoof of peculiar form. This hoof is in 

 miniature like the hoof of a Rhinoceros. If next 

 we examine the teeth of the Hyrax we shall find 

 that the materials of these teeth are also combined 

 in the same manner and after the same pattern as 

 the teeth of the Rhinoceros. So it is with other 

 parts of the same two animals. Along with the 

 teeth and the hoofs there are certain other shapes 

 of bones which seem to be under the same bond 

 of likeness. Now these are Correlations of Growth 

 between different parts of the same animal, and 

 between the corresponding- parts in two different 

 species. 



The conception, then, which we are led to form 

 by this kind of Correlation between organic 

 growths, is more complex than we had at first 

 supposed. Mere Polarity of Force, leading to 

 equal and opposite arrangement of subordinate 

 parts, is not enough to satisfy the facts. This, 

 indeed, may continue to be the type to which our 

 thoughts refer, and by which we are helped to 

 some more adequate idea of the facts. But the 

 general impression left on the mind is this — that 

 some One Force directs the form and structure
