EVOLUTION. 
Gen. Sub. 79 
Bosso (522). — Action of bases on vegetable and animal cells ; Bokorny 
( 50). — Teratogenic influence of alcohol, &c., on ova ; F6 r 6 (191, 192, 
196, 197). — Lecithin, though not directly organoplastic, does, even in 
minute quantity, stimulate rapid multiplication ; Danilewsky (135). — 
Action of distilled water on Tubifex and tadpoles, due to minute traces 
of injurious substances, cf. Nageli’s “ oligodynamik ; Locke (397). — In- 
fluence of lack of oxygen : Segmentation of Ctenolabrus- ovum, &c., 
without oxygen ; fusion of cells in lack of oxygen ; influence of pure 
oxygen on cleavage ; lack of oxygen on heart action of fish-embryos, on 
pigment-cells, and in turning negatively heliotropic animals into 
positively heliotropic ; Loeb (401). 
Galvanotropism : experiments on influence of galvanic current on 
movements and form of Paramoscium ; Ludloff (411). — Galvanotropism 
of tadpoles ; Waller (729). — Galvanotaxis ; experiments on gold-fish, 
Mollusca , Arthropoda , Oligochceta , and Protozoa ; Nagel (485). 
Prolongation of larval state in albino newt ; Rollinat (584). 
Revivification : experiments with mud 10 years old ; species of 
Diaptomus , like Phyllopods and Ostracods, survive desiccation in the 
ovum stage, but species of Cyclops survive only in the Cyclopid stages 
and as adults; Claus (110). 
Change of form, shortening and broadening of parts, in beetles of 
Alpine regions ; Apfelbeck (8).— Adaptation of fishes to aquatic life ; 
Dean (141). — Degeneration through disuse in connection with long claws 
and hairs ; Ha acre (271). — The origin of all plant structures issues 
from self-adaptation to the environment (diroctly or indirectly) without 
the aid of natural selection ; IIenslow (293). 
Turkey Lake as a unit of environment ; Eigenmann (173). 
Functional adaptation, reprint of papers on ; Roux (595). 
d. Elimination, Selection, and Isolation. 
A. R. Wallace and the discovery of natural selection ; Meyer (444). 
— Enormous importance to human race of elimination by Bacteria ; 
Haycr aft (289).— Selection and its results; Meunier (441). —Nature 
versus natural selection; Coe (114). — “Darwin’s fundamental error, 
arguing from artificial to natural selection ; Henslow (293). — Evolution 
of plant structures by action of environment on responsive protoplasm 
without the aid of natural selection ; Henslow (293). 
Non-utility of specific characters in many abyssal Echinoderms ; 
Terrill (710). 
Post-selection ; Minot (449). 
Criticism of the Theory of Sexual Selection : — I. General, (a) Sexual 
dimorphism in colour, &c., occurs in cases where artistic discrimination 
cannot be invoked ; ( b ) the very general correlation between polygamous 
habits and brilliancy of plumage is difficult to explain, since in the 
majority of cases the females who are fought for do not and cannot 
choose ; (c) analogous variability in widely separated forms is another 
difficulty ; (d) the specially decorated parts are sometimes invisible to the
