V . Comparative Morphology of the Monera. 
In order rightly to estimate the complicated relations of 
the Monera to the rest of the Protista, and especially to the 
organisms of the lowest rank, it next appears requisite to 
enter into explanations concerning their morphological, or, 
more correctly, their tectological importance, and to define 
their individual position. I add to this the consideration of 
the position which I have developed and established in my 
general tectology, or doctrine of the individuality (structural 
doctrine) of organisms. 1 
As the universal and single indispensable material element 
of all organisms, we have indicated the plasma or proto- 
plasm (sarcode), a semifluid, nitrogenous, carbonaceous com- 
pound of the group of albuminous bodies. 
In the Monera, the very lowest of all organisms, this 
plasma forms (simply and solely by itself, without combining 
with other bodies) the whole structureless body of the fully 
developed organism.
