Excerpt from book: LECTURE II THE NEW DARWINISM ELEVEN years ago I gave a lecture to the members of this Institute, in which I explained what was then understood as Darwinism; and I have now undertaken to try to explain the modern views held by Darwin's followers. Unfortunately it is a subject which, at the present time, is in a very confused condition, owing to the innumerable irrelevant issues that have been raised around it; but, when all the husk has been stripped off, the new Darwinism will be found to be a simple affair, easily understood. This confusion is largely due to its history; for the new Darwinism did not come upon us in a flash, as did the old, but has been gradually assuming shape for many years. In 1868 Moritz Wagner read a paper to the Royal Academy of Munich, in which he maintained that, without the separation of a few indi- 82 viduals from the rest of the species, natural selection could not act, and that these individuals must always have been isolated by geographical barriers. His thesis could not be upheld on either point, although it brought the importance of isolation prominently forward; and we may place the birth of the new Darwinism in November, 1886, when Dr. Romanes's first paper on physiological selection was published by the I/innean Society of London; for this contained a new idea. From that time it has gone on gaining coherence; and last year (1897) it received its latest development in the third part of Darwin and After Darwin, also the work of Dr. Romanes. This new Darwinism has not destroyed, or in the least damaged, the old. Indeed, it is not antagonistic to it in any way. It is merely an addition; but one of great value, for, as I shall explain at the end of the lecture, it enlarges much our conception of the great scheme of nature. The doc...

Frederick Wollaston Hutton (1836-1905) was a geologist and a supporter of Darwinian theory. He emigrated to New Zealand in 1866, became Professor of Biology at Canterbury College, and won awards both in Britain and Australasia for his work on the natural history of New Zealand. He published scientific papers on biology and zoology as well as geology and, with James Drummond, wrote two popular works, Nature in New Zealand (1902) and The Animals of New Zealand (1904). The latter was extremely successful. It was revised and expanded the following year, and this fourth edition was published in 1923. The book focuses on native vertebrates, so the bulk of the content relates to birds, of which Hutton had published a catalogue in 1871. It also describes marine mammals, reptiles, and bats, and gives brief coverage to introduced species. There are 154 illustrations, and indexes of Maori, English and scientific names.
