Let him take up an imperfectly-formed crystal, or an imperfectly-developed flower, and he can scarcely describe his feelings. The same holds true as to the organization and structure of the human body. Who ever contemplates stunted growth, or any kind of visible deformity, with complacency and satisfaction?

The bat, apparently an imperfectly-formed creature, was for a long time a puzzle to naturalists. Fontaine makes it say: "I am a bird; look at my wings! I am a mouse; the mice forever!" Savants, also, used to describe it as a bird provided with hair instead of feathers, and with teeth instead of a bill.
