Reading edition

Wallaschek, “Natural Selection and Music” in International Congress of Experimental Psychology, second session, 1892, p. 74; Primitive Music, pp. 271, 272. These utterances of Wallaschek ought to be quoted as expressing his views, and not the earlier passage in Mind, 1891, p. 376, from which Groos concludes that Wallaschek agrees with Spencer. Cf. Groos, The Play of Animals, p. 6. As early as 1891, Wallaschek pointed out the importance of music and dances as preparations and not only representations of the most important actions in life. Cf. l.c. p. 74.
