This holds good, naturally, for any given spot on the earth’s crust: once the contained fossils have been carefully examined from a number of series of strata, they enable us to correlate the ages of the members of the different series.

Bateson, ’22.

There is a certain school of biologists who object to describing Protozoa as cells. This to others appears pedantic. But, whether or no they are right in the matter of terminology, the fact which I am here emphasizing remains, viz., that Protozoa had to be aggregated before the Metazoa, or many-celled animals, could arise.

PROGRESS

The Crab to Cancer junior gave advice: “Know what you want, my son, and then proceed Directly sideways. God has thus decreed-- Progress is lateral; let that suffice.”

Darwinian Tapeworms on the other hand Agree that Progress is a loss of brain, And all that makes it hard for worms to attain The true Nirvana--peptic, pure, and grand.

Man too enjoys to omphaloscopize. Himself as Navel of the Universe Oft rivets him--until he asks his Nurse, Old Nature, for the truth; and she replies: “Look back, and find support; you march with Life’s main stream. Look on--be proud; her future lies within your dream.”
