Стр. 35 - But it would be a serious error to suppose that the greater number of instincts have been acquired by habit in one generation, and then transmitted by inheritance to succeeding generations.

Стр. 41 - he was the first who proposed and persistently carried out a well-rounded theory with regard to the development of the living world
Стр. 282 - The hypothesis of Lamarck — that progressive changes in species • have been produced by the attempts of animals to increase the development of their own organs, and thus modify their structure and habits — has been repeatedly and easily refuted by all writers on the subject of varieties and species...
