  1   I,  1 |          that which inquires into nature, there must be certain canons,
  2   I,  1 |           common element of their nature, and proceed from this as
  3   I,  1 |           deals with the works of nature to follow the plan adopted
  4   I,  1 |        generation of the works of nature are, as we see, more than
  5   I,  1 |      works of art and in works of nature. For consider how the physician
  6   I,  1 |           be. Now in the works of nature the good end and the final
  7   I,  1 |   everything that is generated by nature as in everything that is
  8   I,  1 |           with the productions of nature. The mode of necessity,
  9   I,  1 |   evolution of all other works of nature.~Now that with which the
 10   I,  1 |         first philosophized about Nature, busied themselves, was
 11   I,  1 |           instance, to have a hot nature, earth a cold one; the former
 12   I,  1 |           made; for all represent nature as composed of such or similar
 13   I,  1 |       description. For the formal nature is of greater importance
 14   I,  1 |      importance than the material nature.~Does, then, configuration
 15   I,  1 |          character, especially as nature is spoken of in two senses,
 16   I,  1 |         of in two senses, and the nature of a thing is either its
 17   I,  1 |        its matter or its essence; nature as essence including both
 18   I,  1 |        part of it constitutes the nature of an animal; and inasmuch
 19   I,  1 |          to constitute the animal nature, much more than it is the
 20   I,  1 |           soul, the inquirer into nature is bound on every ground
 21   I,  1 |       that constitutes the animal nature, but only some part or parts
 22   I,  1 |       seeing that everything that Nature makes is means to an end.
 23   I,  1 |       exists and was generated by nature, nevertheless hold that
 24   I,  1 |       what we call by the name of Nature. For a given germ does not
 25   I,  1 |     offspring. For these it is by nature, the offspring being at
 26   I,  1 |         at any rate that which in nature will spring from it. At
 27   I,  1 |           explaining the works of nature, or that at any rate an
 28   I,  1 |          in reality nothing about nature. For primary cause constitutes
 29   I,  1 |     primary cause constitutes the nature of an animal much more than
 30   I,  1 | constituting the essence and real nature of things. Such, for instance,
 31   I,  1 |       inquiring into the works of nature, and philosophers diverted
 32   I,  4 |         groups that have a common nature and contain closely allied
 33   I,  5 |          Of things constituted by nature some are ungenerated, imperishable,
 34   I,  5 |           animals. Every realm of nature is marvellous: and as Heraclitus,
 35   I,  5 |         an end are to be found in Nature’s works in the highest degree,
 36   I,  5 |        indicated, to the order of nature.~
 37  II,  1 |                             1~THE nature and the number of the parts

 41  II,  2 |           character, and what the nature of blood may be, these are
 42  II,  2 |          this again similarity of nature, while the want of rapidity
 43  II,  2 |       this again dissimilarity of nature. The term hotter is used
 44  II,  4 |           blood is of an earthier nature. This is due not to the
 45  II,  4 |    animals there may be of a like nature. At the same time too great
 46  II,  4 |        blood are of a more earthy nature, and of a choleric temperament,
 47  II,  5 |          For suet is of an earthy nature, that is to say, it contains
 48  II,  6 |         The marrow also is of the nature of blood, and not, as some
 49  II,  6 |       that have any, and such its nature. It is evidently the surplus
 50  II,  7 |    whereas the marrow is of a hot nature, as is plainly shown by
 51  II,  7 |         of any part is in excess, nature so contrives as to set by
 52  II,  7 |           and rational position), nature has contrived the brain

 55  II,  9 |           by attachments; so that nature may use adjoining bones
 56  II,  9 |      moulds the clay, so also has nature acted in fashioning the
 57  II,  9 |       Moreover, in these Selachia nature has used all the earthy
 58  II,  10|        cold, and vision is of the nature of water, water being of
 59  II,  10|     hearing is, as we say, of the nature of air. Now there are channels
 60  II,  10|        they have been arranged by nature in the following well-ordered
 61  II,  10|            This is the reason why nature has brought the two nostrils
 62  II,  13|      being thus protected is that nature has made them of fluid consistency,
 63  II,  13|          the sharpness of vision, nature has endowed the eyes of
 64  II,  13|       collision being thus small, nature, who makes nothing in vain,
 65  II,  14|       regards need of protection. Nature therefore has assigned the

 70  II,  16|          office of the fore-feet; nature in this following her wonted

 72  II,  16|           of them is implanted by nature and not introduced from

 74  II,  16|   presented by these and what the nature and extent of such differences,
 75  II,  17|           in these animals is the nature of the tongue, which is
 76 III,  1 |         furnished with tusks. For nature never makes anything superfluous
 77 III,  1 |         that will occur later on. Nature allots each weapon, offensive
 78 III,  1 |           by external agency. For nature, as already said, uses the
 79 III,  1 |           functions are thrown by nature upon one single organ, the
 80 III,  2 |     security. For to some of them nature has given claws, to others
 81 III,  2 |         have not been provided by nature with some other means of
 82 III,  2 | appendages, have been provided by nature with some additional means
 83 III,  2 |         In no case, however, does nature ever give more than one

 87 III,  2 |        made available by rational nature for a final cause.~In the
 88 III,  2 |           speculations concerning nature, what we have to consider
