With numeroua species reported from near and far places every year, the number la expected to soar at ft rapid pace, believes Professor Dobzhansky. At present there are 822,766 known species of animals; 133,000 species of flowering plants, and upward o! 100,000 species of lower plants. Number Almost Endless Professor Oobahansky termed the number of distinct kinds, or species of organisms aa "seemingly endless," pointing out that within a species Including the case of man no uniformity prevails. He said the, study of organic diversity had Its roots in antiquity and that pursuit of Its problems "seemingly of lrre-j Bistable esthetlo appeal" In ft large measure paved the way for the science of biology. He described the biological clas sification of organisms as simultan eously a man-made system of pig eon-holes devised for the pragmatic purpose of recording observations In a convenient manner and an ack nowledgement of the fact of organic discontinuity. Cats are used as an example to Illustrate this point. Any two cats are Individually distinguishable, and the same prob ably holds for any two lions. And yet no living Individual has ever been seen about which there coum be a doub: aa to whether It belongs to the species-cluster of cats or tn the species-cluster of Hons. The two cltisters are discrete because of the absence of Intermediates, and there fore one may safely affirm that any cat la different from any lion, and that cats aa a group are distinct from lions of a group. amrs Not Individual Any difficulties which may arlw In defining the species Fells dom estics (cats) and Fells leo ( lions t, respectively. Is due not to the arti ficiality of these species themselves. bul to the fact that In common as well as In scientific parlance th words 'cat' and 'Hon frequently refer neither to Individual animals, nor to all the existing Individuals of these species, but to certain modal points toward which the" specie gravitate. The modal points are statmticai abstractions having no existence apar from the mind of the observer. The species Fella domestics and Fella leo are evidently Independent of any abstract modal point which we may contrive to make.
