Systematic Survey of the Periods in the Tribal History of the 



Human Race. 



(Compare Table VIII., vol. i. p. 402.) 



FIRST MAIN PERIOD IN TRIBAL HISTORY. 



The Flastid Ancestors of Man. 

 The form of the ancestors of man is eqnal to the simple individnal of the 

 ant order, ft single plastid. 



First Stage : Moneron Series (Fig. 163, p. 46). 

 The ancestors of man are single, living, simple cytods. 



Second Stage : Amoeba Series (Fig. 167 p. 53). 

 The ancestors of man are single, living, simple cells. 



SECOND MAIN PERIOD IN TRIBAL HISTORY. 

 The many-celled Primitive Animal Ancestors of Man. 

 The ancestors of man consist of a closely-united society of many homo- 

 geneons cells ; hence their form-value is that of individuals of the second 

 order, of Idorgana. 



Third Stage : Synamceba Series (Fig. 170, p. 55). 



The ancestors of man are many-celled primitive animals of the simplest 

 kind : solid masses of simple, homogeneous cells. 



Fourth Stage : Planaea Series (Figs. 172, 173, p. 60). 



The ancestors of man are many-celled primitive animals of a character 

 like that of the Magosphcera and certain planula-larvae, of equal rank with 

 the ontogenetic Blastula or Blastosphoera ; hollow spheres, the wall of which 

 consists of a single stratum of ciliated cells.
