[125]It is now (January 1884) more than six years since Life and Habit was published, but I have come across nothing which makes me wish to alter it to any material extent.
[127]It must be remembered that the late Mr. C. Darwin expressly denied that instinct and inherited habit are generally to be connected.—See Mr. Darwin’s “Origin of Species,” end of chapter viii., where he expresses his surprise that no one has hitherto adduced the instincts of neuter insects “against the well-known doctrine of inherited habit as advanced by Lamarck.”
Mr. Romanes, in his “Mental Evolution in Animals” (November, 1883), refers to this passage of Mr. Darwin’s, and endorses it with approbation (p. 297).

[189]Erewhon, chap, xxiii.
[198a]It must be remembered that this passage is put as if in the mouth of an objector.
[198b]Mr. Herbert Spencer denies that there can be memory without a “tolerably deliberate succession of psychical states.”[198c]So that practically he denies that there can be any such thing as “unconscious memory.” Nevertheless a few pages later on he says that “conscious memory passes into unconscious or organic memory.”[198d]It is plain, therefore, that he could after all find no expression better suited for his purpose.
Mr. Romanes is, I think, right in setting aside Mr. Spencer’s limitation of memory to conscious memory. He writes, “Because I have so often seen the sun shine that my memory of it as shining has become automatic, I see no reason why my memory of this fact, simply on account of its perfection, should be called no memory.”[198e]
