from his illustrious countryman Fries. He seems to 

 imagine, however^ that because the number five holds 

 good in the primary divisions of structure in the animal 

 and vegetable kingdoms^ it should equally do so in 

 every thing; and he accordingly constructs a fourth 

 system, founded on the organs of sense in these obscurely 

 known creatures. This fourth system^ M. Cuvier says_, 

 was published in Paris in 1822 ; but as we have it not 

 at present to refer to^ we shall transcribe the following 

 table, from that given in the Hist. Nat. des PoissonSy
