Abstract
THIS is a revised and enlarged edition of a luminous essay which Prof. Ziegler contributed to the Weismann Festschrift in 1904. It deserves to be widely known as a terse and interesting introduction to comparative psychology. The treatment is in the main historical, and the author makes a point of showing how the conception of instinct has mirrored the progress of science.
