Now when naturalists observe a close agreement in numerous small details of habits, tastes, and dispositions between two or more domestic races, or between nearly-allied natural forms, they use this fact as an argument that they are descended from a common progenitor who was thus endowed; and consequently that all should be classed under the same species.
Possibly the view is correct which recognizes two nearly-allied dialects as existing side by side in Iran during its flourishing period one prevailing towards the west, the other towards the east one Medo-Persic, the other Sogdo-Bactrian the former represented to us by the cuneiform inscriptions, the latter by the Zend texts.
It is at length perceived that, in this case as in others, such a result is not accidental but necessary that in proportion as there is attention to the signs, there must be inattention to the things signified; or that, as Montaigne long ago said Sçavoir par coeur n'est pas sçavoir. Along with rote-teaching, is declining also the nearly-allied teaching by rules.
The species, which grew on the sides of the adjacent hills, Don Pablo recognised as one of the most valuable. It was a nearly-allied species to the tree of Loxa, which produces the best bark. It was a tall slender tree when full grown, rising to the height of eighty feet; but there were some of every age and size.
I have never seen the nearly-allied and very similar Marsh Warbler, Acrocephalus palustris, in Guernsey, but, as it may occasionally occur, it may be as well perhaps to point out what little distinction there is between the species.
