The birds of theair, the fishes of the sea, and the beasts of the field haveamong them carnivorous classes destined to prey uponweaker species, and appropriate their bodies for food.Constituted as nature is, this arrangement is essential, notonly to the existence of the weaker animals, which wouldotherwise multiply beyond the sustaining power of their PRESERVATIVE OR SELFISH ORGANS. 77 natural food supply, but also to the existence of the car-nivorous animals themselves.
