CLASSICAL ANTIQUITY, MIDDLE AGES 57 

 Pliny had left off and carried on the work after his method. In this way 

 present-day zoology, as regards the study of fauna and classification, takes 

 Pliny as its starting-point, just as in the matter of comparative anatomy and 

 morphology it is based on Aristotle, and therefore the services of the one 

 should in all fairness be recognized as much as those of the other, even if 

 they refer to entirely different fields of study.
