557 〜Die Foraminiferen kiesige oder grobsandige Gebiete des Meeresbodens nicht lieben, u.s.w.〝: where the last two words have no particular meaning, save only that (as M. Aurelius says) 〜of things that use to be, we say commonly that they love to be.〝

558 In regard to the Foraminifera, 〜die Palaeontologie lûÊsst uns leider an Anfang der Stammesgeschichte fast gûÊnzlich im Stiche,〝 Rhumbler, op. cit., p. 14.

559 The evolutionist theory, as Bergson puts it, 〜consists above all in establishing relations of ideal kinship, and in maintaining that wherever there is this relation of, so to speak, logical affiliation between forms, there is also a relation of chronological succession between the species in which these forms are materialised〝: Creative Evolution, 1911, p. 26. Cf. supra, p. 251.

560 In the case of the ram〙s horn, the assumption that the rings are annual is probably justified. In cattle they are much less conspicuous, but are sometimes well-marked in the cow; and in Sweden they are then called 〜calf-rings,〝 from a belief that they record the number of offspring. That is to say, the growth of the horn is supposed to be retarded during gestation, and to be accelerated after parturition, when superfluous nourishment seeks a new outlet. (Cf. LûÑnnberg, P.Z.S., p. 689, 1900.)

564 This is not difficult to do, with considerable accuracy, if the clay be kept well wetted, or semi-fluid, and the smoothing be done with a large wet brush.

565 The curves are well shewn in most of Sir V. Brooke〙s figures of the various species of Argali, in the paper quoted on p. 614.
