The Science and Philosophy of the Organism

Transcriber’s notes :
In this transcription, page numbers are shown in the right margin, and page footnotes (renumbered in consecutive order) are grouped together at the end of the book. Hyperlinks to footnotes and page references are indicated by black dotted underlines plus aqua highlighting when the mouse pointer hovers over them. The footnotes are themselves hyperlinked back to the originating marker to facilitate easy return to the text. A red dashed underline as shown here indicates the presence of a transcriber’s comment; scrolling the mouse pointer over such text will reveal the comment.
The rare spelling typos noted in the original text have been corrected silently (e.g. invividual-->individual, hyberbola-->hyperbola) but inconsistent use of the ligature æ/ae (e.g. palæontology/palaeontology), inconsistent use of alternative spellings (e.g. learned/learnt), and occasional inconsistencies of hyphenation have been left as in the original. Minor punctuation typos have been corrected silently (e.g. index entries with missing commas). The abbreviation viz. appears in both roman and italic font.
Formatting of entries in the Table of Contents does not accurately match that of the corresponding headings in the text, particularly the heading Pt.I-B-3 which contains an extraneous α.
In Figure 12 caption, multiple ditto marks have been replaced by the relevant text for greater clarity.
