It would be unjust to criticize this too closely, for it is admittedly provisional and tentative. If such a scheme is to be framed, I would suggest that the various phyla of the animal kingdom be kept distinct. I question, however, whether any one can produce a scheme which any other independent observer will thoroughly endorse. And I am inclined to think that the wisest plan is to tabulate the kinetic manifestations which we can actually observe rather than the metakineses of which we can have no independent knowledge.

[KM]"Darwinism," p. 293. It is strange that Mr. Wallace did not apply this view to the mathematical and artistic faculties discussed in his last chapter. It is true that such application tends to undermine the argument there developed. But Mr. Wallace is far too great and conscientious a thinker to be influenced by such a consideration.
