Abstract
IN the study of the facts of inorganic evolution presented to us by stellar spectra, there is one point of paramount importance to be inquired into. In the problems of inorganic evolution which we have now to face, it is sufficiently obvious that we have to deal with a continuously increasing complexity of chemical forms, precisely as in organic evolution the biologist has had to deal, and has dealt successfully with, a like increase of complexity of organic forms.
