To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Now the higher members of the mollusks (cephalopods) possess eyes which bear the greatest similarity to those of verte- brates, each having sclerotic, retina, choroid, vitreous humor, aqueous humor, and lens. The correspond- ence at first sight seems complete, and remember- ing the remarkable complexity of the organ, together with the fact that the various parts are only of use when the others are present, it becomes a marvellous thing to find such an organ independently developed in two differ...ent cases. This difficulty Darwin has answered as follows : " Beyond a superficial resem- blance, there is hardly any real similarity between the eyes of cuttle-fishes and vertebrates. * * * The crystalline lens in higher cuttle-fishes consists of two parts placed one behind the other like two lenses, both having a very different structure and disposi- tion to what occurs in the vertebrates. The retina Digitized by VjOOQIC SIMILARITY IN ACQUIRED ORGANS, 233 IS wholly different, with an actual inversion of the elemental parts, and with a large nervous ganglion included within the membranes of the eye.
