V. Pecora. Fore teeth, the upper none, the lower cut- 
ting, many ; feet hoofed, cloven: feed on herbs, which 
they pluck, and chew the cud ; stomachs four. 
VI. Brriu.#. Fore teeth, obtuse ; feet, hoofed ; mo-

like the last. 
VII. Cere. Fins instead of feet ; tail horizontal, flat- 
tened ; no claws or hair: feed upon marine animals ; 
inhabit the ocean. 
(195.) The following table will explain how far these

arrangement pursued in this work :—

(196.) It has been well observed, that Linneus, by some 
unaccountable oversight, broke up into distinct orders 
the group kept together by Aristotle, and better defined, 
perhaps, by Willughby, by the name of Ungulata: he lost 
sight, in fact, of the whole, in the contemplation of its 
parts ; for his Bruta, Pecora, and Bellu@ are only de- 
tached portions of the order Ungulata. This is proved, 
not only from theory, but from minute analysis. With 
this exception, the remaining orders of the Linnean 
arrangement are strictly natural groups, taken with 
reference to their typical examples. But as the Primates, 
Fere, Cete, and Glires had all been indicated by the 
philosopher of Stagyra, who had, moreover, the merit of 
preserving the Ungulata entire, a retrograde, rather than 
an advanced movement, had been made by the learned 
Swede. M. Cuvier did not fail to perceive this ; and, 
with great propriety, followed Aristotle rather than
