LESSON 95. Animal Kingdom. 

 I. Vertebral Animals. 



1. Mammalia, viviparous, and nourish their young with 

 milk. 



2. Birds, oviparous. 



3. Reptiles, as frogs and serpents. 



4. Irishes. 



The two first of the above classes are warm blooded, and 

 the two last cold blooded. 



II. Invertebral Animals. 



5. Insects. 



6. Crustacea, as the lobster and crab. 



7. Mollusca, as the oyster, clam, and cuttle fish. 



8. Vermes, or worms, as the leech, earth worm, and hair 

 worm. 



9. Zoophytes, as the star fish, sponges, corals, and madre- 

 pores. 



Note. According to the Linnaean arrangement, which 

 will be found in most works that treat systematically of na- 

 tural history, all animals are divided into six classes, 1. Mam' 

 malia, % Birds, 3. Amphibia, 4. Fishes, 5. Insects, 6. Worms. 



LESSON 96. Orders of Mammalia. 



1. The Bimana or two handed animals. Man is the only 

 example. He has hands upon his superior extremities alone. 

 He has nails of a thin and delicate texture, which give to his 

 thumb and fingers a wonderful delicacy of touch. 



2. The Quadrumana or four handed animals, comprising 

 apes, monkeys, and baboons. They have hands upon all 

 four of their extremities, but less perfect than those of man. 



3. The Carnivora or carnivorous animals. These have 

 no hands, but their feet are furnished with claws. Note. 

 These three orders have all the three kinds of teeth, which 

 diifer however in shape and strength, according to the habits 

 and food of the different species.
