But the object of the higher races of the Ana through countless generations has been to erase all vestige of connection with hairy vertebrata, and they have gradually eliminated that debasing capillary excrement by the law of sexual selection; the Gy-ei naturally preferring youth or the beauty of smooth faces.

But the degree of the Frog in the scale of the vertebrata is shown in this, that he has no hair at all, not even on his head.

He was born to that hairless perfection which the most beautiful of the Ana, despite the culture of incalculable ages, have not yet attained.

The wonderful complication and delicacy of a Frog's nervous system and arterial circulation were shown by this school to be more susceptible of enjoyment than our inferior, or at least simpler, physical frame allows us to be.

The examination of a Frog's hand, if I may use that expression, accounted for its keener susceptibility to love, and to social life in general.
