ee in making
single articles extraordinary skill,--often said seem to make it almost
<illegible>, child born with such a notion of playing{99},--we can
fancy tailoring acquired in same perfection,--mixture of
reason,--water-ouzel,--taylor-bird,--gradation of simple nest to most
complicated.

{98} This refers to the _transandantes_ sheep mentioned in the MS.
of 1844, as having acquired a migratory instinct.

{99} In the _Origin_, Ed. i. p. 209, vi. p. 321, Mozart's
pseudo-instinctive skill in piano-playing is mentioned. See _Phil.
Trans._, 1770, p. 54.

Bees again, distinction of faculty,--how they make a
hexagon,--Waterhouse's theory{100},--the impulse to use whatever faculty
they possess,--the taylor-bird has the faculty of sewing with beak,
instinct impels him to do it.

{100} In the discussion on bees' cells, _Origin_, Ed. i. p. 225,
vi. p. 343, the author acknowledges that his theory originated in
Waterhouse's observations.

Last case of parent feeding young with different food (take case of
Galapagos birds, gradation from Hawfinch to Sylvia) selection and habit
might lead old birds to vary taste <?> and form, leaving their instinct of
feeding their young with same food{101},--or I see no difficulty in
parents being forced or induced to vary the food brought, and selection
adapting the young ones to it, and thus by degree any amount of
diversity might be arrived at. Although we can never hope to see the
course revealed by which different instincts have been acquired, for we
have only present animals (not well known) to judge of the course of
gradation, yet once grant the principle of habits, whether congenital or
acquired by experience, being inherited and I can see no limit to the
[amount of variation] extraordinariness <?> of the habits thus acquired.

{101} The hawfinch-and _Sylvia-_types are figured in the _Journal
of Researches_, p. 379. The discussion of change of form in
relation to change of instinct is not clear, and I find it
impossible to suggest a paraphrase.

_Summing up this Division._ If variation be admitted to occur
occasionally in some wild animals, and how can we doubt it, when we see
[all] thousands <of> organisms, for whatever use taken by man, do vary.
If we admit such variations tend to be hereditary, and how can we doubt
it when we <remember> resemblances of features and character,--disease
and monstrosities inherited and en
