The sterility of hybrids is a very different case from that of first
crosses, for their reproductive organs are more or less functionally
impotent; whereas in first crosses the organs on both sides are in a
perfect condition. As we continually see that organisms of all kinds are
rendered in some degree sterile from their constitutions having been
disturbed by slightly different and new conditions of life, we need not
feel surprise at hybrids being in some degree sterile, for their
constitutions can hardly fail to have been disturbed from being compounded
