ON THE CLASSIFICATION OF THE ANIMAL KINGDOM, 

 BY THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE NERVES. 



BY F. M. BURTON, ESQ. 



( Continued from page 183.^ 



No. V.— Part I. 



We have now reached the fifth and last great division of the Animal 

 Kingdom, and find organs, which we have hitherto met with only in a 

 rudimentary state, developed to their fullest extent, and various other very 

 important structures, which have not yet appeared at all. Above all, in 

 proportion to the increase of development in the highly-gifted members of 

 the four classes which comprise this division, we shall find the nervous 

 system, the great ruling power of all organic created matter, whether spon- 

 taneous, muscular, or sentient, also very considerably increased. One of the 

 greatest distinguishing features of vertebrate animals is the possession of an 

 internal skeleton, composed of very numerous parts. 



We have already, in the last class of the Heterogangliate world, met with 

 the rudiments of this internal osseous structure in the cartilaginous cranium 

 which defends the brain, and embraces the oesophagus of the Cephalopods, 

 but we find in the division we are now entering upon, a wonderful internal 

 frame-work, defending and supporting the various fleshy and sentient parts, and
