  where 
  the 
  blood 
  transfused 
  emanated 
  from 
  a 
  closely 
  related 
  

   species, 
  no 
  ill-effects 
  were 
  observed 
  to 
  follow 
  its 
  transfusion, 
  this 
  

   being 
  the 
  case, 
  for 
  instance, 
  when 
  transfusion 
  was 
  practised 
  be- 
  

   tween 
  the 
  Dog 
  and 
  Wolf, 
  Horse 
  and 
  Donkey, 
  Hare 
  and 
  Eabbit. 
  

  

  In 
  the 
  general 
  summary 
  of 
  the 
  results 
  of 
  16,000 
  Precipitin- 
  

   Tests, 
  conducted 
  by 
  Dr. 
  Nuttall 
  and 
  detailed 
  in 
  this 
  volume, 
  we 
  

   are 
  told 
  that 
  "these 
  tests 
  were 
  conducted 
  by 
  means 
  of 
  antisera 
  

   for 
  Man 
  (825 
  tests), 
  Chimpanzee 
  (47 
  tests), 
  Ourang 
  (81 
  tests), 
  

   Cercopitliccus 
  (733 
  tests). 
  Maximum 
  reactions 
  were 
  only 
  ob- 
  

   tained 
  with 
  bloods 
  of 
  Primates. 
  The 
  degrees 
  of 
  reaction 
  obtained 
  

   indicate 
  a 
  close 
  relationship 
  between 
  the 
  Hominidce 
  and 
  Simiidce, 
  

   a 
  more 
  distant 
  relationship 
  with 
  the 
  Cercopithecidce, 
  the 
  bloods 
  

   of 
  Cebidce 
  and 
  Hapalidce 
  giving 
  still 
  smaller 
  reactions 
  than 
  the 
  

   last." 
  All 
  four 
  antisera 
  failed 
  to 
  produce 
  reactions 
  with 
  the 
  two 
  

   bloods 
  of 
  LemuridcB 
  tested, 
  except 
  when 
  sufficiently 
  powerful 
  to 
  

   also 
  produce 
  reactions 
  with 
  other 
  mammalian 
  bloods. 
  " 
  From 
  

   this 
  we 
  may 
  conclude 
  that 
  the 
  Lemurs 
  properly 
  belong 
  to 
  an 
  

   Order 
  separate 
  from 
  the 
  other 
  Primates." 
  It 
  will 
  thus 
  be 
  seen 
  

   that 
  these 
  results 
  are 
  corroborative 
  to 
  general 
  views 
  on 
  Anthro- 
  

   poidean 
  descent 
  derived 
  from 
  other 
  facts 
  and 
  advocated 
  on 
  other 
  

   lines. 
  This 
  study 
  of 
  blood-relationship 
  in 
  animals 
  in 
  a 
  com- 
  

   parative 
  sense 
  recalls 
  the 
  method 
  used 
  in 
  Comparative 
  Philology 
  

   and 
  Comparative 
  Theology, 
  and 
  may 
  carry 
  us 
  very 
  far 
  indeed. 
  

  

  In 
  thus 
  calling 
  attention 
  to 
  the 
  dominant 
  zoological 
  trend 
  of 
  

   this 
  book, 
  as 
  can 
  be 
  only 
  done 
  in 
  these 
  pages, 
  we 
  must 
  not 
  let 
  it 
  

   be 
  suggested 
  that 
  we 
  are 
  dealing 
  with 
  a 
  volume 
  of 
  theoretical 
  

   tendency. 
  On 
  the 
  contrary, 
  it 
  is 
  a 
  very 
  technical 
  work 
  indeed, 
  

   fully 
  explanatory 
  of 
  the 
  method 
  of 
  study 
  and 
  experiment 
  pursued, 
  

   of 
  terminology 
  employed, 
  and 
  lavish 
  in 
  tabular 
  demonstration 
  

   of 
  results, 
  to 
  which 
  our 
  space 
  forbids 
  adequate 
  recognition. 
  It 
  

   is 
  another 
  of 
  the 
  many 
  standard 
  zoological 
  contributions 
  made 
  

   by 
  the 
  University 
  Press 
  of 
  Cambridge.

  Mr. 
  Andre 
  has 
  explored 
  and 
  written 
  on 
  a 
  region 
  which 
  

   possesses 
  the 
  greatest 
  interest 
  to 
  all 
  naturalists 
  ; 
  it 
  has 
  been 
  

   made 
  classical 
  by 
  Humboldt, 
  and 
  Mr. 
  Rodway 
  has
