geographical distribution. Among these were Her- 

 bert von Buch, Haldeman, and Schaafhausen llie 

 anthropologist. We find a partial revival of Goethe's 

 doctrines by the botanists Schleiden and Lecoq. 



Lamarckism found very few followers. The 

 Greek idea of pre-existent germs of species was 

 revived by Keyserling. The Aristotelian notion of 

 an internal impulse or tendency towards progression 

 was more or less clearly revived by the ' })rogrcs- 

 sionists ' in the Vestiges of Creation and in Owen's 

 essay on the " Nature of Limbs." 



Other writers who expressed a more or less pos- 

 itive belief in the mutability of species were : \'irey ' 

 in 1817, Grant ^ in 1826, Rafinesquc^ in 1S36, Du- 

 jardin^ in 1843, d'Halloy'' in 1846. Chevreul'' and 

 Godron,^ in 1846 and 1847, advanced views some- 

 what similar to those of the younger St. Hilaire. 

 We note also Leidy in 1850, T. Unger, the bot- 

 anist, in 1852, Carus and Schaafhausen^ in 1S53, 

 Lecoq in 1854.^ 



Sachs has shown how the botanists Brown, Xageli, 

 and Hofmeister were approaching the theory.
