 speaking of them as the peripheric, the longitudinal,

 of the relations of animals to one another. 



Cuvier may be regarded as the zoologist by whom 

 anatomy was made the one important guide to the 

 understanding of the relations of animals. But it 

 should be noted that the belief, dating from Malpighi
