crimination.” These two powers or faculties are seen in the 
actions of the Amceba; when their elaboration has proceeded to a 
certain extent, they begin gradually to become associated with 
feeling, “ when they are fully so associated, the terms choice and 
purpose become to them respectively appropriate.” Then follow 
chapters on consciousness, sensation, pleasures and pains, memory 
and association of ideas, perception and imagination. Six chap- 
ters are devoted to the consideration of instinct; chapter XIX is 
upon reason, and the last one, the twentieth, relates to animal 
emotions, and ends with a summary of intellectual faculties.

lacerated the under side of his arm.” I cannot’ now remember 
that these dogs actually barked, but they were often heard to 
‘owl and were noisy creatures. In'1864, at Chateau bay, I heard 
the Newfoundland dogs on the vessels in the harbor barking. At 
Hopedale, the Eskimo dogs of' the Eskimo of this settlement
