pt 260, par. Further (ts 24): ts had the following, crossed out: `Further, it may be observed that the evolutionary postulate is a generalization of the old axiom, Materiae dispositae advenit forma.

Hence, the generalization cannot be rejected outright, for in these an outright rejection of the generalization would conflict with known and accepted fact.'

pt 263, par The third (ts 30): ts has the following, crossed out: `A third application of the key notion in explaining species relates higher conjugates, Cjm, Cjn, Cjo, ..., which define psychic events, to otherwise coincidental aggregates of neural events, Eijm, Eijn, Eijo, ...

pt 264, par In this fashion (ts 31): this paragraph is run into the preceding in ts
