Note 79 — Chapter VII

A. Smith Woodward, "Natural Science," 1892, and Annals and Maga. Nat. Hist., October, 1890. This able naturalist, in introducing his subject, remarks, from the point of view of an evolutionist:—"Whether some form of 'worm' gave origin to the forerunners of the great back-boned race, or whether a primeval relative of the King-crab turned upside down and rearranged limbs and head these are questions still admitting of endless discussion, no doubt fruitless in their main object, but desirable from the new lines of investigation they continually suggest."
