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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. 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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Use-Inheritance: Illustrated by the Direction of Hair on the Bodies of Animals I would submit that the value of these facts, taken as a test of Weismannism, rests upon their want of importance to the animals in which they are found. Further evidential value attaches to them from the fact that certain of them are stereotyped upon species others very similar are in process of development at the present time, and the factors that may be at work in producing them are open to investigation. This is a form of evidence too much wanting in most of the great problems of organic development. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Use-Inheritance: Illustrated by the Direction of Hair on the Bodies of Animals It is proposed in the following pages to attempt to show that certain inherited characters of animals can only be interpreted by considering them to have arisen in ancestors of those animals by use or habit This proposition amounts to a denial of the universal validity of Weismannism, as an articulated system of heredity, which is nothing if not universal The larger question, now more than a century old, as to the value of Lamarckian factors in organic evolution, is not touched upon here. Lamarck is not without his able champions, even in these days when Selection has established for itself in the minds of biologists an astonishing ascendency. It must indeed be admitted that a remarkable difficulty has been found hitherto in showing that the effects of habit, use, and disuse in certain individuals are inherited by their descendants. All the various forms of mutilation of animals and man practised from time immemorial have failed hitherto to furnish cases of such mutilations being transmitted by descent. All the facts of use and disuse of parts or organs, and their effects on individuals, have hitherto been open to selectionist interpretations, and even the inheritance of certain diseases in man has been stoutly challenged. The cases hitherto recorded seem to be summed up, by authority, as a "handful of anecdotes." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
