Clafs VL VERMES. 



The fi^th and lad clafs contains the VERMES, 

 which are divided into five orders. LiNNi5:us 

 very early adopted the new fyftem of PeyfonneU 

 Juffieu^ and fome others, in introducing the corals 

 and corallines into the animal kingdom, under the 

 names of Lithophyta and Zoophyta. This 

 fyftem has had great light thrown upon it by the 

 late excellent Mr. Ellis, in his hiftory of Coral- 

 lines, and feveral papers printed in the Philofophi- 

 cal Tranfadions. 



As this is by far the moft anomalous of all the 

 clafles, the charaders of the orders are very va- 

 rious,
