If I did not think you a good tempered & truth loving man I should not tell you that. . . I have read your book with more pain than pleasure. Parts of it I admired greatly; parts I laughed at till my sides were almost sore; other parts I read with absolute sorrow; because I think them utterly false & grievously mischievous– You have deserted– after a start in that tram-road of all solid physical truth– the true method of induction. . .<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n

Seeing that a few members of such water-breathing classes as the Crustacea and Mollusca are adapted to live on the land; and seeing that we have flying birds and mammals, flying insects of the most diversified types, and formerly had flying reptiles, it is conceivable that flying-fish, which now glide far through the air, slightly rising and turning by the aid of their fluttering fins, might have been modified into perfectly winged animals. If this had been effected, who would have ever imagined that in an early transitional state they had been inhabitants of the open ocean, and had used their incipient organs of flight exclusively, so far as we know, to escape being devoured by other fish?<\/em><\/p>\n

Viendo que algunos miembros de las clases de respiraci\u00f3n acu\u00e1tica, como los crust\u00e1ceos y moluscos, est\u00e1n adaptados a vivir en tierra, y viendo que tenemos aves y mam\u00edferos voladores, insectos voladores de los tipos m\u00e1s diversos, y que en otro tiempo hubo reptiles que volaban, se concibe que los peces voladores que actualmente se deslizan por el aire, elev\u00e1ndose un poco y girando con ayuda de sus tr\u00e9mulas aletas, pudieron haberse modificado hasta llegar a ser animales perfectamente alados. Si esto hubiese ocurrido \u00bfqui\u00e9n hubiera siquiera imaginado que en un primer estado de transici\u00f3n hab\u00edan sido habitantes del oc\u00e9ano y hab\u00edan usado sus incipientes \u00f3rganos de vuelo exclusivamente -por lo que sabemos- para escapar de ser devorados por los peces? <\/em><\/p>\n
