Perhaps they may prove to be congeners of the men of the Bronze Age, and of the earliest waves of Gypsy-immigration into Europe. A list of the shells collected by the second Khedivial Expedition on the shore of Midian and the Gulf of 'Akabah, by Edgar A. Smith, Esq., British Museum. I. Gastropoda. 1. Conus textile, Linne. 2. Conus sumatrensis, Hwass. 3. Conus catus var., Hwass. 4.
Linné had been known to Lohrmann and Mädler, 1822-32, as a deep crater, five or six miles in diameter, the third largest in the dusky plain known as the "Mare Serenitatis"; and Schmidt had observed and drawn it, 1840-43, under a practically identical aspect.
It was not enough for him to know a plant by sight, and to ascertain its proper name, but he compared the minutest parts of inflorescence and fructification; he sought for the most trifling differences in those nearly allied, and studied with a keen but generous criticism the various theories of writers on the science, from the earliest age to the time of the immortal Linnè.
If he were always consistent with himself, he might be excused for sometimes disagreeing with his neighbours; but he proceeds on no principle but that of being unlike the rest of the world. Every child has heard of Linnaeus; therefore Mr Mitford calls him Linne: Rousseau is known all over Europe as Jean Jacques; therefore Mr Mitford bestows on him the strange appellation of John James.
Sistrum fiscellum, Chemnitz. 21. Sistrum tuberculatum, Blainville. 22. Harpa solida, A. Adams. 23. Fasciolaria trapezium, Lamarck. 24. Turbinella cornigera, Lamarck. 25. Triton maculosus, Reeve. 27. Triton aquatilis, Reeve. 28. Solarium perspectivum, Linne. 33. Cypraa arabica, Linne. 34. Cypraa pantherina, Linne. 35. Cypraa camelopardalis, Perry. 36. Cypraa carneola, Linne. 37.
Translated into phylogenetic language, this "pithecometra-law," formulated in such masterly fashion by Huxley, is quite equivalent to the popular saying: "Man is descended from the apes." In the very first exposition of his profound natural classification Linne placed the anthropoid mammals at the head of the animal kingdom, with three genera: man, the ape, and the sloth.
Linne drew attention to this fact in the first edition of his famous Systema Naturae . As will be seen in any museum of anatomy or any manual of comparative anatomy; the human frame has all the characteristics that are common to the Mammals and distinguish them conspicuously from all other animals.
