In direct opposition to the transmutation of species, all the great changes of animal conformation which come under our notice are prospective ; taking place, not in consequence of a new condition, but in preparation for it. ' Thus, the larva of the winged insect can only walk ; but, if we take it and dis- sect it, just before its metamorphosis is completed, we find an apparatus in progress for flight through the air. The embry- onic animal has a life adapted to its condition ; but this life is... subordinate to the formation of organs for a life after birth ; and for which, during the whole period of gestation, it is un- consciously preparing. 11. Distinct from the preceding, in particulars, but aiming at the same end, is the emhryotic hypothesis according to which it is affirmed that the organic germs of all animals are iden- tical, and that the higher animals, while in the womb, pass through all the successive conditions which, in the lower grades of animals, are permanent ; that the quadruped, for example, is successively a fish, a reptile, and a bird, before it attains its permanent organic form.
