How shall we deal with them? There they are as a matter of fact; that no one can deny. They eventually have all the richness and complexity which are abundantly illustrated in human life; that must be realized to the full. But how are they to be interpreted?

Similar observations might also be prosecuted with advantage in some of our own zoological gardens, as was the earnest wish of George Romanes, to whose in?uence and encourage ment I am, like many others, so deeply indebted.
