1 In accordance with the requirements of exact science, Professor Henry Fair- 

 field Osborn divides the Ungulates into two Orders: the Artiodactyla, or Even- 

 toed, and Perissodactyla, or Odd-toed hoofed animals. On account, however, of 

 the place now held in the mind of the general reader and teacher by the long- 

 known Order Ungulata, I hesitate to make here a complete change in its form.
