Teleologically considered, there is, in the variability of unaccom- 

 modated species arising from generation, a struggle to produce a 

 new form suited to the altered conditions ; and hence it follows 

 that the dying out of species and the origination of new forms 

 are links of the same conditions, just as when an individual dies 

 to perfect and mature the seeds from which it arises with new 

 life in a numerous offspring.
