I see no reason to limit the process of modification, as now explained, to the formation of genera alone. If, in our diagram, we suppose the amount of change represented by each successive group of diverging dotted lines to be very great, the forms marked a^ to p^ , those marked b^ and f^ , and those marked o^ to m^ , will form three very distinct genera.
