^■fEhe other diagrams, page 366, I think may be allowed in 

 gt#alt measure, to explain themselves ; in fig. 2, the proximit]^' 

 bKvveen the infusoria of the verm-affines, and the protophytes' 

 of the vegetable reign, marks the analogy, or rather the 

 affinity between them and the oscillatoria of the cellulous' 

 plants ; and the apes and monkeys of the prim-aflines claim by* 

 their position and their anthropomorphous structure, a like ap- 

 proach to man. In fig. 3, the beasts and reptiles, instead of 

 being separated by the birds, are connected with each other 

 and with them, of which alliance the ornithorhynchus becomes 

 the link ; the pinnipeds of the beasts also approach the fish, as 

 in like manner do the chelonian reptiles, the Crustacea and 

 coleopterous insects, which two latter, although distinguished," 

 are shewn to be allied ; and the lepidoptera may be supposed 

 to shew their analogy with birds. The mollusca, also, are not 

 placed above the articulata, but while vindicating their rank 

 by the high development of gills, heart, &c., in the sepia, at 

 the same time approach the worms of the other circle : and the 

 pisces are connected both with cetaceous beasts, and by the 

 eels, &c., with the ophidian reptiles. But enough — this subjects 

 might be pursued to aln^ost any extent.
