        multifariousness.
        [1913 Webster]

        [1913 Webster]

                                                    Newton.
        [1913 Webster]

            [1913 Webster]
        (c) (Biol.) An individual, or group of individuals, of a

            of being perpetuated by artificial means; hence, a
            subdivision, or peculiar form, of a species.
            [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: Varieties usually differ from species in that any two,
           however unlike, will generally propagate indefinitely
           (unless they are in their nature unfertile, as some
           varieties of rose and other cultivated plants); in
           being a result of climate, food, or other extrinsic
           conditions or influences, but generally by a sudden,
           rather than a gradual, development; and in tending in
           many cases to lose their distinctive peculiarities when
           the individuals are left to a state of nature, and
           especially if restored to the conditions that are
           natural to typical individuals of the species. Many
           varieties of domesticated animals and of cultivated
           plants have been directly produced by man.
           [1913 Webster]
        (d) In inorganic nature, one of those forms in which a
            species may occur, which differ in minor
            characteristics of structure, color, purity of
            composition, etc.
            [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: These may be viewed as variations from the typical
           species in its most perfect and purest form, or, as is
           more commonly the case, all the forms, including the
           latter, may rank as Varieties. Thus, the sapphire is a
           blue variety, and the ruby a red variety, of corundum;
           again, calcite has many Varieties differing in form and
           structure, as Iceland spar, dogtooth spar, satin spar,
           and also others characterized by the presence of small
           quantities of magnesia, iron, manganese, etc. Still
           again, there are Varieties of granite differing in
           structure, as graphic granite, porphyritic granite, and
           other Varieties differing in composition, as albitic
           granite, hornblendic, or syenitic, granite, etc.
           [1913 Webster]
  
     3. (Theaters) Such entertainment as in given in variety
        shows; the production of, or performance in, variety
        shows. [Cant]
        [Webster 1913 Suppl.]
  
     Geographical variety (Biol.), a variety of any species
        which is coincident with a geographical region, and is
        usually dependent upon, or caused by, peculiarities of
        climate.
  
     Variety hybrid (Biol.), a cross between two individuals of
        different varieties of the same species; a mongrel.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     Syn: Diversity; difference; kind.
  
     Usage: Variety, Diversity. A man has a variety of
            employments when he does many things which are not a
            mere repetition of the same act; he has a diversity of
            employments when the several acts performed are unlike
            each other, that is, diverse. In most cases, where
            there is variety there will be more or less of
            diversity, but not always. One who sells railroad
            tickets performs a great variety of acts in a day,
            while there is but little diversity in his employment.
            [1913 Webster]
  
                  All sorts are here that all the earth yields!
                  Variety without end.              --Milton.
            [1913 Webster]
  
                  But see in all corporeal nature's scene,
                  What changes, what diversities, have been!
                                                    --Blackmore.
