The same holds with the Malays of Sumatra, the Hottentots, certain Negroes, and the natives of Brazil. On the Huns, Godron, 'De l'Espece, tom. ii. 1859, p. 300. On the Tahitians, Waitz, 'Anthropology, Eng. translat. vol. i. p. 305. Marsden, quoted by Prichard, 'Phys. Hist. of Mankind, 3rd edit. vol. v. p. 67. This fact was ascertained in the 'Reise der Novara: Anthropolog. Theil. Dr.

They are now always obtained by taking spores from the abnormal parts of the monstrous fern; from which spores ferns presenting the same peculiarities invariably grow.... The most remarkable case is that observed by Dr. Godron, of Nancy.

With the breeds of sheep the number of hairs within a given space and the number of excretory pores are related. On the odour of the skin, Godron, 'Sur l'Espece, tom. ii. p. 217. On the pores in the skin, Dr. Wilckens, 'Die Aufgaben der Landwirth.

Not only does variability appear to be induced in man and the lower animals by the same general causes, but in both the same parts of the body are affected in a closely analogous manner. This has been proved in such full detail by Godron and Quatrefages, that I need here only refer to their works. Godron, 'De l'Espece, 1859, tom. ii. livre 3. Quatrefages, 'Unite de l'Espece Humaine, 1861. 'Hist.

It is sufficiently fertile and always comes true. Numerous records have been made of it, since formerly it was believed by Fabre and others to be a spontaneous transition from some wild species of grass to the ordinary wheat, not a cross. Godron, however, showed that it can be produced artificially, and how it has probably sprung into existence wherever it is found wild.

These are recorded in systematic works as varieties, and are described under the names of P. amphibium var. natans Moench, and P. amphibium var. terrestre Leers or P. amphibium var. terrestris Moench. Such authorities as Koch in his German flora, and Grenier and Godron in their French flora agree in the conception of the two forms as varieties.

This latter conclusion is directly opposed to that arrived at by Villerme, from the statistics of the height of the conscripts in different parts of France. For the Polynesians, see Prichard's 'Physical History of Mankind, vol. v. 1847, pp. 145, 283. Also Godron, 'De l'Espece, tom. ii. p. 289. But the preceding statements shew how difficult it is to arrive at any precise result. Dr.
