VI 
DIV. I. VERTEBRATA. 
ORDER III. — Carnassier. 
This order is divided into three great families, Cheiroptera, In- 
sectivora, and Carnivora, the last of which is subdivided into three 
tribes, Plantigrada, Digitigrada, and Amphibia. In the first edition 
of the Regne Animal the Marsupiata were added as a fourth family 
of this order ; they now, with greater propriety, constitute an order 
by themselves.
