    but other naturalists, other economists, may combine to carry out such parallel studies. There is surc-ly ample room for like co-operation in other fields. There are many roads towards Utopia, but that of antithesis is often the shortest. So even here, from those ugly shapes of Parasitism, Organic and Social, \ve may descry the possibilitics already nascent around us in man and in nature, of the highest as well as of the lowest ideals of Evolution. May we not, there- fore, hope some day to see the antithetical title to the présent one — Symbiosis, Social and Organic ? Neither economist nor naturalist is ready to write such a book, yet no worker nor student but may bring his part towards this—the collaboration of collaborations. PATRICK GEDDES.
