As a rabbit, you know what its eating apparatus must be; and some day, no doubt, the French Acclimatisation Society will enable us to judge of its flavor. It is a kind of meat very likely to be seen on our dinner-tables by-and-by; and, as you have plenty of time before you, probably you may eat of it before you die. These come more directly within our limits.
The case of the Jerusalem artichoke, which is never propagated by seed, and of which consequently new varieties have not been produced, has even been advanced for it is now as tender as ever it was as proving that acclimatisation cannot be effected!
As it is extremely common for distinct species belonging to the same genus to inhabit hot and cold countries, if it be true that all the species of the same genus are descended from a single parent-form, acclimatisation must be readily effected during a long course of descent.
Effects of changed conditions Use and disuse, combined with natural selection; organs of flight and of vision Acclimatisation Correlated variation Compensation and economy of growth False correlations Multiple, rudimentary, and lowly organised structures variable Parts developed in an unusual manner are highly variable: specific characters more variable than generic: secondary sexual characters variable Species of the same genus vary in an analogous manner Reversions to long-lost characters Summary.
Blair found that the death-rate of the immigrants was proportional to the latitude of the country whence they had come. With the negro the immunity, as far as it is the result of acclimatisation, implies exposure during a prodigious length of time; for the aborigines of tropical America who have resided there from time immemorial, are not exempt from yellow fever; and the Rev.
As it is extremely common for species of the same genus to inhabit very hot and very cold countries, and as I believe that all the species of the same genus have descended from a single parent, if this view be correct, acclimatisation must be readily effected during long-continued descent.
Acclimatisation, difference of, in different races of men. Achetidae, stridulation of the; rudimentary stridulating organs in female. Acilius sulcatus, elytra of the female. Acomus, development of spurs in the female of. Acridiidae, stridulation of the; rudimentary stridulating organs in female. Acromio-basilar muscle, and quadrupedal gait. Acting. Actiniae, bright colours of.
I have given an account of Dr. That acclimatisation plays a part, is shewn by the many cases in which negroes have become somewhat liable to tropical fevers, after having resided for some time in a colder climate.

It is said, in answer to the Jewish boast that 'their race still prospers, though it is scattered and breeds in-and-in, 'You prosper BECAUSE you are so scattered; by acclimatisation in various regions your nation has acquired singular elements of variety; it contains within itself the principle of variability which other nations must seek by intermarriage. In the beginning of things there was certainly no cosmopolitan race like the Jews; each race was a sort of 'parish race, narrow in thought and bounded in range, and it wanted mixing accordingly.
The second, upon the brow of a hill, formed of terraces rising one above the other, to which several brooklets give life and fertility, was specially devoted to the acclimatisation of European trees and plants. The apple, peach, apricot, cherry, and pear-trees, which have thriven well, have already supplied the colony with valuable shoots.
