11 APPENDIX. 



Storr, after general Temarks on methods and classification 

 (which would contrast rather than compare with the views current 

 among scientific taxonomists of the present day), discusses the 

 classification in successively narrow^ed terms, of the groups in- 

 cluding the mammals, dividing them as follows : — 



(1) The animal kingdom into two agmina; one containing 

 the Red-blooded Animals (Rubrisanguia), and the other the 

 White-blooded animals. 



(2) The agmen Rubrisanguia into two acies: the Warm- 

 blooded and the Cold-blooded animals. 



(3) The acies of Warm-blooded animals into two classes: 

 Mammalia and Aves. 



(4) The class Mammalia into three categories ov phalanges: 

 one (Pedata) fitted for locomotion on the land ; the second 

 (Pinnepedia) for progression in the water rather than on the 

 land ; and the third (Pinnata) for progression exclusively in 

 the water. ^ 



(5) The phalanx Pedata into two cohortes: distinguished, one 

 by the presence of claws ( Gohors XJnguiculata), and the other 

 by the presence of hoofs {Cohors Ungulata).^ 



2 " Sedes nimirum hisce animalibus non eadem omnibus facta est : 

 maxima quidem eorum pars iu terra potius vitam agit, quam in aquis, qiii- 

 busdam tameu aquam magis, quam terram, liabitautibus, aliquibus & 

 aequori perpetuo commissis : 



Triplici itaque vitae generi liaud parcior respondit fabricse mammalium 

 varietas : 



Terrena quidem artuum absolutissima fabrica eminent, qui, ab exortu 

 liberi, commodeque trunco uexi, multiplici & artiiiciosissimo perficieudo 

 motui aptati sunt ; 



Aquatili mar/is quam ierrestri vitse deditis ninus in artubus habilitatia 

 est, cum integumentis trunci ultra medietatem includantur, postremique 

 praicipue artus ad imum ventrem revincti, qua parte demum solutiores 

 prodeunt, apices porrigant ad incessum minus idoneos, ad remigandum 

 contra magis adaptatos, complanatos, expausosque. Corpus prseterea circa 

 pectus ampliatum, hinc magis magisque extenuatum, sic quoque piscium 

 quandum habitudinem induit. 



Atque sic mammalium classis in tres sece&it phalanges." pp. 16, 17. 



2 Neque vero hactenus expositis momentis ita exbauriuntur omnes fab- 

 ricse eorum modi, oranisque hornm ferax vitse generis varietas, ut nnllig 

 porro locus sit ulterioribus modificationibus, quas vitse genus tulerit siibinde 

 magis magisque definitum. Quin ipsa artuum conformatio novo crescentis 

 varietatis mox exeraploest: Extremi pedatorum mammalium artus corneis 

 quihusdam muniuntur laminis, quae prouti in scntuli uncive ineumbentis 

 [Unguiculata'], vel undequaque circnmjecti calceoli [Ungulata'\ formentur 

 modum, plus minns favent, obsunt partium earnm expeditis, apto, validove 

 motui. Respondet autem reliquo vitse generi lijec quoque artuum fabrica. 

 Neque adeo repudianda erat dndum aduotata n) unguiculatorum ungu- 

 latorumque aninialinm discrepantia, quae quippe dignoscendis probe infer- 

 viat pbalangis huius ambis coliortibus : Prima sic unguiculatoruvi cobors 

 est, superimpositis, nee circumjectis corneis istis muninientis ad artus 

 extiraos arrnata ; Altera ungulatoriim, quae velamento tali corueo obducta 

 atque circumscriptos prodil artuum apices, p. 18.
