...Professor Romanes draws attention. He states it in the words of Mr. Wallace, who lays down as a general law that " every species has come into existence coincident both in space and time with a pre-existing and closely allied species." This is a necessary consequence of natural evolution, but no reason can...

...— cases, indeed, so innumerable that, as Mr. Wallace remarks, it may be taken as a law of nature that " every species has come into existence coincident both in space and time with a pre-existing and closely allied species." A general law which, while in itself most strongly suggestive of evolution,...

In short, the argument is an argument to show that the transmutation of...
