he mouth of an objector. {198b} Mr. Herbert Spencer denies that there can be memory without a "tolerably deliberate succession of psychical states." {198c} So that practically he denies that there can be any such thing as "unconscious memory." Nevertheless a few pages later on he says that "conscious memory passes into unconscious or organic memory." {198d} It is plain, therefore, that he could after all find no expression better suited for his purpose. Mr. Romanes is, I think, right in setting aside Mr. Spencer's limitation of memory to conscious memory. He writes, "Because I have so often seen the sun shine that my memory of it as shining has become automatic, I see no reason why my memory of this fact, simply on account of its perfection, should be called no memory." {198e} {198c} Principles of Psychology, I., 447. {198d} Ibid, p. 452. {198e} Mental Evolution in Animals, p. 130 {217} Nineteenth Century, Nov. 1878, p. 826. {218} Encyclopedia Britannica, Art.

Paris, 1873. {222b} Those who read the three following chapters will see that these words, written in 1880, have come out near the truth in 1884. {223a} Journal of the Proceedings of the Linnean Society. Williams & Norgate. 1858, p. 61. {223b} Contributions to the Theory of Natural Selection, 2d ed., 1871, p. 41. {223c} Origin of Species, p. I, ed. 1872. {223d} Origin of Species, 6th ed., p. 206. I ought in fairness to Mr Darwin to say that he does not hold the error to be quite as serious as he once did. It is now "a serious error" only; in 1859 it was "most serious error."--_Origin of Species_, 1st ed., p. 209. {224} Origin of Species, 1st ed., p. 242; 6th ed., p. 233. {225a} I never could find what these particular points were. {225b} Isidore Geoffrey, Hist.
