hollow-horned

• “But any other A. proposition is presumably convertible only by limitation, and this is shown by Fig. 1; where _All hollow-horned animals are ruminants_, but we can only say that _Some ruminants are hollow-horned_.”

• “When America, and especially North America, possessed its elephants, mastodons, horse, and hollow-horned ruminants, it was much more closely related in its zoological characters to the temperate parts of Europe and Asia than it now is.”

• “North America, on the other hand, is characterised (putting on one side a few wandering species) by numerous peculiar gnawers, and by four genera (the ox, sheep, goat, and antelope) of hollow-horned ruminants, of which great division South America is not known to possess a single species.”

• “Within nearly this same period (as proved by the shells at Bahia Blanca) South America possessed, as we have just seen, a mastodon, horse, hollow-horned ruminant, and the same three genera (as well as several others) of the Edentata.”

• “Lastly, the Inverse of A. is plain from Fig. 1 -- _Some things that are not hollow-horned are not ruminants_, namely, things that lie outside the outer circle and are neither 'ruminants' nor 'hollow-horned.”

  Logic Deductive and Inductive

• “Suppose the proposition to be _All hollow-horned animals ruminate_: then, if we could collect all ruminants upon a prairie, and enclose them with a circular palisade; and segregate from amongst them all the hollow-horned beasts, and enclose them with another ring-fence inside the other; one way of interpreting the proposition (namely, in denotation) would be figured to us thus:”
