ON THE CLASSES OF THE 



its mode of disposition is wholly different. Now this we 

 have already seen to be the case in the two sides of the 

 Zoological circle, which, as the reader needs scarcely to 

 be told, correspond with the abovementioned two series. 

 But to remove all doubt on this point, let us turn to the 

 tabular view of the affinities of the animal kingdom as 

 given by Lamarck. It is as follows : 



Series of 

 Inarticulated Animals.

 Infusoria 



Polypi

Series of 

 Articulated Animals. 



Vermes

Tunicata

Acephala

Mollusca

Epizoacia

 Insecta

Crustacea Arachnida 



Cirrhipeda 



Pisces 

 Reptilia 

 Aves 

 Mammalia. 



Now this table of affinities which is given in page 457> 



vol. i. of the Histoire Nat. des Animaux sans Fertebres, 



however confused it may appear, or subramose, as it is 



termed by Lamarck, coincides with the tabular view which 



I have laid before the public in the preceding part of this 



chapter. We have only to join the Radiata to the Cir- 



ripeda, and the Annelides to Fishes, for the reasons which 



I should hope it will now be unnecessary to repeat, and 



Lamarck's table of affinities, with scarcely any alteration, 



becomes precisely the same as mine. This is proved by 



the following distribution, in which squares are used to 



mark the groupes, but not the progression of affinity.
