* I regard the division of the Marsupialia as equivalent to the monodelphous 

 Mammalia, for not only are there found in it representatives of most of the orders of 

 Monodelphia, but, further, there are in the Monodelphia many indications which jjoint 

 to their having arisen from a didelphous form. The Marsupialia. or uniting with them 

 the Monotremata, the Implacentalia, consecpiently represent the ancestors of the 

 Placentalia. 



f The great variations which the relations of the placenta present in various 

 Edentata weaken somewhat the value of the placental classification, although the 

 various orders are generally distinguished by the similar characters of their placenta. 



X The Prosimii form a stem-group, in some divisions of which peculiarities are 

 retained which are found in various other of the following orders. Thus there are 

 characters which we meet with in Insectivora, Eodentia, Carnivora, and Primates. 



§ and || The Proboscidea and Lamnungia are representatives of orders which it is 

 very difficult to associate with the rest. They have genetic affinities to the Kodentia; 

 Hyrax has also relations to the Ungulata.
