Genus is that part of the essence which is also predicable of other things dierent from them in kind. A
triangle is a rectilineal gure; i.e. in xing the genus
of a thing, we subsume it under a higher universal,
of which it is a species.
Dierentia is that part of the essence which distinguishes one species from another. As compared
with quadrilaterals, hexagons and so on, all of which
are rectilineal gures, a triangle is dierentiated as
having three sides.
A property is an attribute which is common to all the
members of a class, but is not part of its essence (i.e.
need not be given in its denition). The fact that the
interior angles of all triangles are equal to two right
angles is not part of the denition, but is universally
true.
