186 . V. PRINCIPLES OF 



On these principles we found 8 genera of animal 

 reliquia; viz. 



* Genera dependant on the innate parts of 

 animals. 



1. MAMMODOLITHUS, which contains the reliquia 



of Mammalia. 



2. ORNITHOLITHUS, of Birds. 



3. AMPHIBIOLITHUS, ofAmphibiout Animal*. 



4. IcHTHYOLITHUS, of Fish. 



5. ENTOMOLITHUS, of Insects. 



6. HELMINTHOLITHUS, of the parts (not 



fabricated) of Worms. 



** Genera dependant on the fabricated 

 parts of animals. 



7. CONCHYLIOLITHUS, which contains the reliquia 



of Shells. 



8. ERISMATOLITIIUS, of Fulciments or the 



fabricated supports of worms (. III. b. 65. ) 

 In vegetal reliquia, no general distinctions, cha- 

 racteristic of natural genera, can be founded on the 

 Linnean Classes or Orders in the sexual system, since 

 these are artificial f Nor on the natural Orders, 



affects only the last class of animals The Vermes which, by the 

 adoption of the principle of arrangement in question, instead of 

 one will afford three genera of reliquia These, however, are still 

 natural divisions, as they |respectively include only such bodies, 

 as derive their form from ipeciea naturally uniting in their recent 

 state. 



f Hence, it rarely happens that a detached foisil leaf or stem, 

 c. can be referred to the class or order, in the sexual system, to
