But the numbers are of secondary importance, and the fact that systematic species consist, as a rule, of more than one independent and constant subspecies, retains its almost universal validity. In some cases the systematic species are manifest groups, sharply differentiated from one another.
There are local, there are even racial modifications, there are minor classes and subspecies, but the rough triple classification will serve. In America the dominant home tradition is that of the transplanted English middle class.
"We might pick up the latest gossip on that uranium strike on Venus, or the discovery of live prodsponders on Mars." Scotty swung into the parking lot. "Tell me, Space Commander, what are prodsponders?" "A subspecies of sponprodders. Your ignorance surprises me, Cadet Scott." "I haven't been to the inner planets for a week," Scotty apologized. "I lose touch."
"It has been found only in the lias formations of the Jurassic," stated Winkleman dogmatically, "and that type of Jurassic is not here. It is of England, yes; of Germany, yes; of the Americas, yes. Of central Africa, no!" "Nevertheless " interposed Kingozi. "But the cryptoclidus that greatly resembles the cinoliosaurus perhaps. Or even a subspecies of the plesiosaurus " "Simba," called Kingozi.
But, besides such differences, all naturalists admit that natural varieties exist, which are considered sufficiently distinct to be worthy of record in systematic works. No one has drawn any clear distinction between individual differences and slight varieties; or between more plainly marked varieties and subspecies and species.
As all triangles agree in certain properties, though widely different in others, so all Indians are alike in certain characteristics, though differing, almost radically, each from every other: But, as the points of coincidence in triangles are those which determine the class, and the differences only indicate subspecies, so the similar characteristics in the Indian, are those which distinguish the species, and the variations of character are, at most, only tribal limits.
If we give to the monistic subspecies the name of philosophy of the absolute, we may give that of radical empiricism to its pluralistic rival, and it may be well to distinguish them occasionally later by these names. As a convenient way of entering into the study of their differences, I may refer to a recent article by Professor Jacks of Manchester College.
Women were a sex, "the sex," according to chivalrous toasts; they were set apart for special services peculiar to femininity. As one English scientist put it, in 1888, "Women are not only not the race they are not even half the race, but a subspecies told off for reproduction only." This mental attitude toward women is even more clearly expressed by Mr.
