I have placed Glires between Cetcd ^indUngulata thQ.t the orders 

 of mammaha and birds should be parallel in analogy; and also 

 because both orders have apparentlya nearly equal affinity to the 

 Primates by the genera Bradypus in one, and Cheiromys ia 

 the other; but the affinity oi Hippopotamus to some of the CetiZ , 

 is much more apparent than any affinity that I am able to dis- 

 cover between any of the Glires and the latter. The Glires and 

 the Ungulata are allied by means of the genera Hydfoel^m
