[Footnote 239: _Schnabelthier_, otherwise called the _duck-billed platyptis_, a mammal found in Australia, much the size of an otter, with the horny beak of a duck and paws formed for swimming.] [Footnote 240: _Getrübt_, we have the word _trüben_ above, translated there "troubled," life merely seen through the thick veil of instinctive sense.] [Footnote 241: That is, the unity manifested is as abstract from all concrete totality as the form itself.] [Footnote 242: This shows clearly that symmetry is only in an analogous way applicable to musical tones.] [Footnote 243: In other words, uniformity is outside the purely qualitative relation, whereas symmetry is not so.] [Footnote 244: _Beseelte Lebendigkeit_, lit., the insouled life-principle.] [Footnote 245: Lit., "Is continually thrust out into the external." Its activity as life is directed outward.] [Footnote 246: _Was schon im Sichverzehren begriffen ist._ I think the distinction implied is that in smell we are in actual contact with a part of the object. The same thing would, however, be true of sight according to former theory exploded by Newton's hypothesis.] [Footnote 247: _Gesetzmässigkeit._ I cannot think of an English word that quite reproduces it. I am not sure that either conformity to rule or law singly quite expresses it. It implies both.] [Footnote 248: As in uniformity.] [Footnote 249: As in symmetry.] [Footnote 250: That is to say, apart from symbolical meaning, it possesses no hidden law to be discovered in the relation of part to part.] [Footnote 251: The words are _die grosse und kleine Axe von wesentlichem Unterschiede._ These refer primarily, it appears, to the axes of an ellipse, but the expression may possibly include the axes of a parabola parallel to the sides of a cone. However I admit frankly I find the words _von wesentlichem Unterschiede_ difficult to interpret closely.] [Footnote 252: In the text _grossen_, obviously a misprint.] [Footnote 253: The incorrectness of this statement according to more recent analysis does not, of course, affect the argument.] [Footnote 254: _Nicht einseitig._ I think the meaning here is that colour is not an abstract idea for independent qualities, but is the generic notion of a really existing totality.] [Footnote 255: _Alles melodische_, primarily, organic, of course.] [Footnote 256: Namely, that of abstract unity.] [Footnote 257: Hegel expresses this rather differently by saying that they tend to pass over into pink (_röthliche_) or orange (_gelbliche_) and green. I have put the same statement rather more directly.] [Footnote 258: I think this is the meaning of the words _aber nur äusserlich, d.h._, _nicht beschmützt._ Violet, however, is now regarded as a cardinal colour. It may also be doubted whether the difficulty of harmonizing pure colour is as Hegel states it.]
