Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Direction of Hair, in Animals and Man The purpose of this work is threefold. It seeks to co-ordinate the scattered facts of the direction of the hair in the lower animals and man, to furnish interpretations of most of them on mechanical principles, and to supply an answer to the question, "Can acquired characters be inherited?" It is shown that with few exceptions the hair-streams grow on the animal body in the lines of least resistance, and the "resistances" encountered are mechanical. No doubt many of the phenomena here described are intrinsically uninteresting and unimportant. As part of a page of natural history they might never have been recorded. But natural history may become natural science, and until it has done so it has failed to fill its place in the order of Nature. When it is seen that the object here kept in view is the establishment of a fragment of abstract truth, many, whose horror of theory is genuine and, perhaps, not unreasonable, may be deterred from further interest in it. But others would prefer to help in laying one stone which shall be hidden in the foundations of the fabric of science than many a course of finer blocks in her rapidly-rising walls.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Direction of Hair, in Animals and Man The illustrations have been prepared for me by Mr. R. E. Holding, and have been throughout made diagrammatic, artistic considerations being sacrificed for the sake of clearness. In many of them arrows have been used to represent the hair-streams of the parts, and have been distinguished from one another according as the shafts of the arrows have single, double, or triple feathers, on a certain principle referred to in Chaps. I. And V. This account of a large subject can only be considered as an introduc tion. To have given detailed descriptions and illus trations of the immense varieties in the arrangement of hair which are found among hair-clad Mammals would have been confusing and unnecessary at this stage, and with the present purpose in view.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1903 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER III CRITICAL AREAS IN LOWER ANIMALS The following eleven areas will be considered in lower animals: The Naso-frontal, Pectoral, Cervical, Axillary or Post-humeral, Inguinal, Spinal, Extensor Surface of the Ulna, Ventral and Lateral Surfaces of the Abdomen, Extensor Surface of the Thigh, Gluteal, and lastly the Side of the Flank. Naso-frontal. The nasal and frontal regions in diverse animal forms are so different in their relative size, and are so difficult to separate for a study of this kind, that they are here taken as one region. An animal nearly always goes head-foremost through its world, whatever that may be, and its snout meets a variety of opposing objects which cannot but modify the hairy covering. A very active use is also made of the muscles of the nasal region in lifting, turning and twisting the upper lip in such actions as those of browsing, sniffing and snorting. In many cases the varieties of hair-slope found here arise from the particular "pose" of the head which happens to predominate. Thus one of the CANIDiE or CERVIDE shows a pointed snout, and the attitude of such an animal's head is very near to the horizontal in both rest and motion. In this case the premaxillary and nasal region is that which first presents itself to the world of a Deer or a Dog. If a representative of the FELIDiE be taken, e.g., a Lion, with its short broad muzzle, it is seen that the prevailing attitude of the head is more directed downwards, the line of the muzzle forming nearly an angle of 45 with the ground.
