[GU]These fall under the "practical intelligence" of Mr. Mivart. All their intelligent activities, in his view, are performed by the exercise of merely sensitive faculties, through their "consentience." I agree to so large an extent with Mr. Mivart in his estimate of animal intelligence, and in his psychological treatment, that I the more regret our wide divergence when we come to the philosophy of the subject. I am with him in believing that conception and perception, in the sense he uses the words, are beyond the reach of the brute. But I see no reason to suppose that these higher faculties differ in kind from the lower faculties possessed by animals. They differ generically, but not in kind. I believe that, through the aid of language, the higher faculties have been developed and evolved from the lower faculties. Here, therefore, I have to part company from Mr. Mivart.

[GZ]Mr. Romanes regards it as, in the case of the capuchin, a recept. But when he speaks of a generic idea of causation, and generic ideas of principles, and of qualities as recepts, I find it exceedingly difficult to follow him. They seem to me to be concepts supposed to be formed in the absence of language.
