Definition of evolution — Energies of evolution and spontaneous gen- 

 eration — Mind and evolution— Definition of life — Variations in 

 organisms the. result of mechanical causes — Variations in color 

 of Beetles, Snakes and Lizards— Effect of locality — Teeth — Skele- 

 tons of frogs — Phylogeny founded on Embryology and Paleon- 

 tology — Amphioxus is probably the ancestral vertebrate — Mam- 

 mals derived from Permian reptiles — Great difference in the 

 structure of teeth of different .marsupials — Oldest known mam- 

 mals are highly specialized — Lemurs and not monkeys probably 

 the ancestors of man — Difference in structure between man and 

 ape — Huxley's view as to differences in structure of man and 

 ape — Oldest known remains of man — Genealogy of man based on 

 that given by Cope — Cope's mechanical theory as to variations 

 applied to man — Causes of variations, Physiogenesis and Kine- 

 togenesis — Physical theory of the origin of lungs — Physical the-
