In England T. H. Huxley adopted in his lectures 

 (1869) a classification wHcli was in many respects 

 similar to both of the foregoing, but embodied im- 

 provements of his own. It is as follows : —

We now arrive at the period when the doctrine of 

 organic evolution was established by Darwin, and 

 when naturalists, being convinced by him as they
