" 2 In harmony with his pre- decessors Lloyd Morgan introduces his work by an exhaustive explanation of the mechanism of the nervous system, for "The subject of intelligence is inexplicably intertwined with the sub- ject of life, the subject of organic evolution with the subject of mental evolution, " 3 though it is advisable to remember, Morgan tells us later on, that "even if the two are mentioned in a breath, the physiological and the psychological belong to distinct orders of being". 4 He c...ontinues: " We must picture the central nervous system co-ordinating and organizing the stimuli brought into it by different nerves from the organs of special sense, and handing over the resultants by efferent nerves to the organs of special activities. * * * How this is effected is one of the many wonders of the animal organism. We believe that the connection and co-ordinations have gradu- ally been established during a long process of development and evolution reaching far back into the past. But when we turn from the physiological to the psychological aspect of the ques- tion, we enter a new world, the world of consciousness wherein the impressions received by the recipient organs (no longer regarded as mere stimuli but as elements of consciousness) are co-ordinated and organized, and are built up into those sensa- tions and perceptions through which the objects of the external world take origin and shape.
