28. The most obvious differences between different animals
are differences of size, but for some reason the zoologists
have paid singularly little attention to them. In a large
textbook of zoology before me I find no indication that the
eagle is larger than the sparrow, or the hippopotamus
bigger than the hare, though some grudging admissions
are made in the case of the mouse and the whale. But yet it
is easy to show that a hare could not be as large as a
hippopotamus, or a whale as small as a herring. For every
type of animal there is a most convenient size, and a large
change in size inevitably carries with it a change of form.
