FOSSIL ZOOLOGY. Ove 
durable structures of animals are preserved in the mineral 
kingdom, were fully explained ; we may therefore at once 
enter upon the investigation of this most important division 
of our subject ; that to which the term Paleontology, is, 
indeed, restricted by some authors. 
_ The fossil remains of the animal kingdom will be treated 
of under the following heads :— 
I. Zoornyrss : including— 
1. PoRIFERA, or AMorPHOzOA: the most simple animal 
structures ; as the Sponges. 
2. POLYPIFERA, or PonyprariA; Coral-animals. 
3. Bryozoa, or Molluscan Zoophytes ; as the Flustre. 
I]. Eonmvopermata, or EcHINODERMS ; comprising— 
1. Crinorea ; or Lily-shaped animals. 
2. ASTERIADE; Star-fishes. 
3. Ecainipm; Sea-wrchins. 
III. Montusca, or Motnusks. Under this head not only 
the fossil shells of testaceous mollusca, but also 
those of a lower order of animals, the Rhizopodes, 
or Foraminifera, will be treated of. 
. FORAMINIFERA. 
. BIVALVES: the LAMELLIBRANCHIA, and BRACHIOPODA. 
. UniIvatves: the GastEropopa and PreRopopa. 
. CEPHALOPODA ; those with chambered shells, as the Nau- 
tilus and Ammonite ; and the naked tribes, the SEPIADA, 
or Cuttle-fish. 
IV. Arricunata. (Animals protected by a hard jointed 
envelope or case.)

; 1. CrrrIpPEpIA : as the Balanus, or Barnacle.
