﻿INCONSISTENCY 
  OF 
  ANATOMISTS.

  stealthy 
  tread. 
  When 
  anatomists 
  object 
  to 
  

   erect 
  a 
  separate 
  " 
  Order 
  " 
  for 
  Man 
  on 
  the 
  

   plea 
  that 
  it 
  is 
  an 
  attempt 
  to 
  reconcile 
  two 
  

   different 
  orders 
  of 
  ideas, 
  — 
  namely, 
  ideas 
  of 
  ana- 
  

   tomical 
  structure, 
  and 
  ideas 
  of 
  mental 
  power, 
  — 
  

   they 
  are 
  simply 
  refusing 
  to 
  place 
  that 
  value 
  

   on 
  anatomical 
  differences 
  which 
  nature 
  puts 
  

   on 
  them. 
  They 
  find 
  no 
  similar 
  difficulty 
  as 
  

   regards 
  other 
  animals 
  in 
  co-ordinating 
  ana- 
  

   tomical 
  structure 
  with 
  mental 
  powers 
  and 
  

   instincts. 
  The 
  canine 
  teeth 
  of 
  the 
  Carnivora 
  

   stand 
  in 
  close 
  and 
  consistent 
  relation 
  with 
  

   their 
  dispositions. 
  The 
  prehensile 
  character 
  

   of 
  the 
  feet 
  or 
  tail 
  in 
  monkeys 
  is 
  a 
  true 
  and 
  

   adequate 
  expression 
  of 
  their 
  arboreal 
  habits 
  ; 
  

   and 
  the 
  small 
  and 
  simple 
  brains 
  of 
  the 
  

   Marsupials 
  (Kangaroos, 
  &c.) 
  are 
  strictly 
  cor-
