the development of floral envelops, apetaly, polypetaly, gamopetaly. Extra-normal develop- 

 ment is illustrated by fortuitous variation, in general by the origin of showy and fragrant 

 flowers, and of bright-colored and sweet-flavored fruits. The abnormalities of sex as pro- 

 duced by both female and male selection are explained. Finally it is shown that all extra- 

 normal development is the result of the origin and growth of the psychio element.

Pointing out especially the importance of Mr. White's discoveries to geology in settling be- 

 yond further dispute the age of a certain portion at least of the Gay Head section, which 

 has been the subject of geological investigation for a century, and was still enshrouded 

 with doubt. 

 Lester F. Ward. Genius and woman's intuition. 

 The Forum (New York), IX, June, 1890, pp. 401-408. 



This article is a reply to one by Grant Allen on woman's intuition, in the preceding number 

 of the Forum. It aims to give a, scientific explanation of the origin and nature of the 

 well-known faculty by which most women are able to arrive instantaneously and correctly 

 at the decision of certain questions of practical life, and point out what these questions 

 are and their limitations, thus denying the implication in the article reviewed that the 

 faculty is general or occult. It refutes the claim of Mr. Allen that there is any analogy 

 between this power and that of true genius, and shows that the two faculties are distinctly 

 antagonistic, the former being essentially practical, while the latter is essentially ideal. 

 Mr. Allen's theory that men of genius are the sons of women in whom the intuitive faculty 

 is highly developed is shown to be erroneous, the popular view being that they are the 

 sons of women of intellectual superiority. The conclusion is drawn that the chief desid- 

 eratum is the intellectual development of women.
