Excerpt from Lectures on Geology, Vol. 3
Now, what is the meaning of these great types of structure; why are there four, and no more or no less; and what is their rank in the scale of perfection of animal life To answer these questions, we must remember that the structure is but the expression of the life-functions for which the organs are made; and a closer examination will convince us that each archetype has a predominant life-function which determines its special form and the character of its physiological life. It will be seen, also, that each archetype corresponds to one of the fundamental functions of life.
