, algebraical symbol; then by another, defining it, and so on. The animal has no concepts; it has not that mental algebra by the help of which we think. It must know always a given object, and must remember it with all its signs and peculiarities. No forgotten sign will return. For us, on the other hand, the prin- cipal signs are contained in the concept with which we have cor- related that object, and we can find it in our memory by means of the sign for it. From this it is clear that the memo...ry of an animal is more burdened than ours, and this is the principal hindering cause to the mental evolution of an animal. Its mind is too busy. It has no time to develop. The mental development of a child may be arrested by making it memorize a series of words or a series 86 TERTIUM ORGANUM of figures. The animal is in just such a position.

In man the flower of intellectual force fades at a mature age, often even in senility; in the animal, quite the reverse is true.
