"Readings in Evolution." Among them are:--

1. There must have been innumerable transitional forms in the
formation of new species. No convincing evidence of these missing
links exists.

2. Natural selection can not account for the instinct of animals such
as that of the honey bee, "which has practically anticipated the
discoveries of profound mathematicians."

4. The offspring of such nearly related species as can be crossed are
