     summary: Other observers have not succeeded in verifying these statements; and my own observations lead me to believe, that while the connection between _Torula_ and the moulds is a very close one, it is of a different nature from that which has been supposed. But the fact is that the proportion of other _Foraminifera_ is exceedingly small, nor have I found as yet, in the deep-sea deposits, any such matters as fragments of molluscous shells, of _Echini_, &c., which abound in shallow waters, and are quite as likely to be drifted as the heavy _Globigerinoe_.

     summary: Facts of this kind are undoubtedly fatal to any form of the doctrine of evolution which postulates the supposition that there is an intrinsic necessity, on the part of animal forms which have once come into existence, to undergo continual modification; and they are as distinctly opposed to any view which involves the belief, that such modification as may occur, must take place, at the same rate, in all the different types of animal or vegetable life. But, further, it is expressly stated that aquatic animals took their origin upon the fifth day, and not before; hence, all formations in which remains of aquatic animals can be proved to exist, and which therefore testify that such animals lived at the time when these formations were in course of deposition, must have been deposited during or since the period which Milton speaks of as the fifth day.

This idea of the cytoblastema was early thrown into suspicion, and almost at the time of the announcement of the cell doctrine certain microscopists made the claim that these cells did not come from any structureless medium, but by division from other cells like themselves.

Behind these trabeculae comes the notochord (n.c.), and around its anterior extremity is a paired tract of cartilage, the parachordals (p.c.).

     summary: The most striking and noteworthy feature about the effects of changes of climate and moisture, changes of salinity of the water in aquatic organisms, and changes of food-stuff, is that, when they produce any effect at all, they give rise to _definite_ variations. And there are certain degenerate organisms which have taken to a parasitic life, and live within the bodies of other animals.

     summary: In a tree the woody core of trunk and branches, and in an animal the skeleton, internal or external, may be regarded as passively resisting the gravity and momentum which tend habitually or occasionally to derange the requisite relations between the organism and its environment; and since they resist these forces simply by their cohesion, their functions may be classed as _statical_. In such _Fungi_ as exhibit axial development at all, we commonly see development round a single axis.

     summary: Schwann was immediately struck with the similarity between the observations of Schleiden and certain of his own upon _animal_ tissues. The story has been developed almost entirely from the side of animal life; not that the botanical side has been underestimated, but that the story can be told from either side, and my first-hand acquaintance with botanical investigation is not sufficient to justify an attempt to estimate its particular achievements.
