Abstract
THESE are two of the most recent of the numerous contributions which Germany has made to the literature of Darwinism. The first is an address delivered on the anniversary of the medical and surgical Frederick-William Institute in Berlin, and is a tribute to the enormous impetus given to physiological research by the promulgation of Mr. Darwin's theories. The writer, however, while fully adopting the principle of Evolution, leans to the views which have during the last few years greatly spread among naturalists, that any theory like that of natural selection, which does not recognise an inherent law of progress, is insufficient to account for the phenomena of the transmutation of species.
