III-1. Vide "Proceedings of the British Association for the Advancement of
Science," 1859, and London Athenoeum, passim. It appears to be conceded
that these "celts" or stone knives are artificial productions, and
apparently of the age of the mammoth, the fossil rhinoceros, etc.

III-4. Page 484, English edition. In the new American edition (vide
Supplement, pp. 431, 432) the principal analogies which suggest the extreme
view are referred to, and the remark is appended: "But this inference is
chiefly grounded on analogy, and it is immaterial whether or not it be
accepted. The case is different with the members of each great class, as
the Vertebrata or Articulata; for here we have in the laws of homology,
embryology, etc., some distinct evidence that all have descended from a
single primordial parent."

III-6. This we learn from his very interesting article, "De la Question de
l'Homme Fossile," in the same (March) number of the Biblioteque
Universelle. (See, also, the same author's "Note sur la Periode
Quaternaire ou Diluvienne, consideree dans ses Rapports avec l'Epoque
Actuelle," in the number for August, 1860, of the same periodical.)

III-8. Whatever it may be, it is not "the homoeopathic form of the
transmutative hypothesis," as Darwin's is said to be (p. 252, American
reprint), so happily that the prescription is repeated in the second (p.
259) and third (p. 271) dilutions, no doubt, on Hahnemann's famous
principle, of an increase of potency at each dilution. Probably the
supposed transmutation is per saltus. "Homoeopathic doses of
transmutation," indeed! Well, if we really must swallow transmutation in
some form or other, as this reviewer intimates, we might prefer the mild
homoeopathic doses of Darwin's formula to the allopathic bolus which the
Edinburgh general practitioner appears to be compounding.
