He is constantly anti-clerical; [529] and the germinal skepticism of Montaigne and Charron clearly persists in him.
Even in rural Scotland, the vogue of the poetry of Burns told of germinal doubt.
How did that Divine life and consciousness, in the first upward stage of evolution, evolve in the germinal life the power to respond?
Perhaps it is scarcely possible to separate now all the tangled skeins in the mixed conception of Artemis, or to lay the finger on the germinal conception of her nature.
Mr. Sorby made numerous investigations with relation to the number of molecules in the germinal matter of eggs, and the spermatic matter supplied by the male.
This yolk contains a germinal vesicle in which can be discovered a nucleus, called the germinal spot.
To quote his own words: "Having long studied the problem of the germinallayers in the animal series, I sought to give some idea of their origin and significance.
Finally, before leaving this branch of the subject, the fact that the three germinal layers are continuous with one another, and not isolated masses of tissue, may be emphasized.
Pander observed the germinal membrane or blastoderm, as he for the first time called it, of the fowl's egg to acquire three layers of organized substance in the earlier period of incubation.
These began in 1875 and following years with a careful examination of the behaviour of the germinal vesicle in the maturation and fertilization of the ovum.
The nucleus of the oocyte is called the germinal vesicle.
Flusskrebses (Leipzig, 1829), in which an attempt is made to extend the doctrine of the derivation of the organs from the germinal layers to the invertebrata, entitle him to be regarded as the founder of invertebrate embryology.
This patch is the germinal disc, and the nuclear divisions are confined to it and to the transitional region, where it merges into the denser yolk which makes up the bulk of the egg.
In the germinal layers themselves, and in the organs developing from them, this tissue is in the young stages almost entirely obscured by the densely packed nuclei which it contains.
When the twins are a boy and a girl, they are never closely alike; in fact, their origin is never due to the development of two germinal spots in the same ovum.
It has been suggested that these stories have their germinal origin in Calderon's play,[134] where a man is haunted by himself.
The germinalidea for Melmoth, the Wanderer was contained in a paragraph from one of the author's own sermons, which suggested a theme for the story of a doomed, fate-pursued soul.
But if you have given yourselves to that Saviour, and received the germinal gift of eternal life from Him, then, take my text as absolutely imperative for you.
Either the ovum was a cell and the germinal vesicle its nucleus, or else the germinal vesicle was itself a cell within the larger cell of the ovum and the germinal spot was its nucleus.
Independently of Coste, and very little time after him, Wharton Jones[257] found the germinal vesicle in the mammalian ovum.
These specific nuclear substances, different for each cell, are accumulated also in the nuclei of the germinal substance, constituting what Rignano calls the central zone of development.
Wagner in his Prodromus called attention to the widespread occurrence, within the germinal vesicle of a darker speck which he called the Keimfleck or germinal spot, known sometimes as Wagner's spot.
The monerula was the fertilised ovum after the disappearance of the germinal vesicle;[438] it was the equivalent of the primordial anucleate Monera which are the ancestors of all animals.
The translation, "determinant," which we have selected is an appropriation of an analogous but not absolutely identical technical term from Weismann's Germinal Selection.
On Germinal Selection as a Source of Definite Variation By August Weismann Translated by T.
H] It is interesting to compare this statement with Weismann's recent theory of Germinal Selection.
Job was a small fellow about five, with a germinal nose, large round blue eyes, and red hair that curled close to his head like the wool on the back of an infantine lamb.
As to the origin of a belief in a kind of germinal Supreme Being (say the Australian Baiame), I do not, in this book, offer any opinion.
Each ovum has one germinal vesicle; occasionally one ovum may contain two germinal vesicles; and from the impregnation of such an ovum a twin pregnancy may result.
While we wait for the sentiments, customs, and laws which should embody perfect humanity and perfect justice, we may observe the germinal principle of these ideal things; we may sketch the ground-plan of a true commonwealth.
Did germinal substances, unconsciously diffused, meet by chance in the external medium and unite there, it is obvious that whatever obsessions or pleasures maturity might bring they would not have the quality which men call love.
Whether the Euahlayi belief came from the north, in a limited way, or whether it is the germinal state of the northern belief, is uncertain.
In groups necessarily very small, thesegerminal elements of later morality could be evolved, as they could not be evolved in the gregarious communal horde of theory.
L'Assommoir remains his masterpiece, while Germinal and L'Oeuvre will not be soon forgotten.
They number ninety volumes; the dossier alone of Germinal forms four volumes of five hundred pages.
The conditions which surround the individual would affect its body, but it is not easy to believe that they would affect the germinal substance.
Indeed, it is not easy to see how any external conditions can have influence upon this germinal material if it is not an active part of the body, but is simply stored within it for future use in reproduction.
The material which conveys inheritable characters can be seen and has been identified in both germinal cells; from each of them the fertilized ovum derives equal amounts.
Each of these remarkable units is called an Ovum, or egg-cell, and represents one variety of the germinal cells.
The male germinal cell is like the female cell in the possession of a nucleus; in other respects it is very different.
Fertilization of the ovum, as this event is scientifically termed, has as its main purpose the uniting of the nucleus of a male germinal cell with the nucleus of the female germinal cell.
The germinal cells then contain the material basis of inheritance, and in all probability the substance is located within the nucleus of the cells.
To understand these fundamental points we must recall that at the moment of conception a male germinal cell combines with a female cell, and that this act, which is named fertilization, brings together vital elements from the two parents.
Convincing observations upon the lower forms of life, especially upon fishes, have shown that when the germinal cells come near to each other, the ovum attracts the spermatozoon.
These two processes lead to a reduction in the number of chromosomes, so that finally every human germinal cell contains twelve, and therefore when the ovum is fertilized the characteristic number twenty-four is restored.
According to recent evidence, there are two kinds of male germinal cells; one kind giving rise to female offspring and the other to male.
How deleterious, and even deadly, must the internal administration of alcoholic liquors then be in the treatment of diphtheria, and of other diseases having a germinal origin?
It therefore follows, to my mind, that all the diseases which are the result of germinal infection, are most badly treated when alcohol is used in their therapy.
The individual body is nothing more than a "temporary expression" of those germinal characteristics which have united to give it consistency; but the complex transmission of characteristics rests wholly with the germinal cells.
The germinal potentialities that contain beauty and strength seem predestined to that predominance which will achieve the triumph of life in the individual.
Since the germinal potentialities determine the single characteristics, they may be considered as the atoms of the biologist.
The first stage is germinal life; the second, youth; the third, maturity.
The dying creature loses only a portion of its bodily machine and so returns to the slumberous or germinal condition of "involution", in which it existed before birth, and from which it was aroused through conception to development.
Through germinal selection, the struggle of the representatives of organs in the germ (ontogenetic and phylogenetic--Weismann).
The gradual diminution continuing for thousands and thousands of years and culminating in its final and absolute effacement" can only be accomplished by germinal selection.
The mere loss of the force of heredity, unless this was caused by disuse, or the process of germinal selection, can not have brought about the conditions, because some parts have been affected more than others.
It seems that all the admitted objections to degeneration by panmixia apply with equal force to germinal selection.
So far we have considered germinal selection in the abstract only.
But granting Weismann the necessary structure of the germ plasm, can germinal selection accomplish what is claimed for it?
Germinal selection as applied to degeneration is the formal explanation of Romanes' failure of heredity through the struggle of parts for food.
The germinal part of the tune has to be heard often, and there must be a beginning, a middle and an end.
In addition to these buds containing germinal elements alone, there is another which illustrates the process of "gemmation"--i.
