This epoch-making work marks the advent of the modern epoch in 

 zoological taxonomy. The entire animal kingdom is considered, its fam- 

 ilies and genera are all defined, and the entire system is placed on the 

 sound basis of comparative anatomy. 



In a number of cases the genera in this work receive French names 

 only. But to all these, Latin forms were immediately supplied in the 

 same year, 1817, by Oken, in the Isis.
