General Notes and Faunae. 
^ The work of Messrs. Milne-Edwards, father and son, com- 
mences, as mentioned above (p. 3), with an essay by the former 
on the classification of Mammals, extending over pp. 5-4-2. He 
defends the view sustained by him for a long time, viz. that em- 
bryology is the most reliable guide in the classification of the 
animals of this class. We indicate the arrangement proposed 
by him in the following synopsis : — 
First Subclass NORMAL MAMMALIA. 
First Phalanx IIematogemetes. Toes nailed, generally Jive ; teeth in front 
of the mouth. 
First Legio Mierullantoides. Molars essentially crushing or rasping; 
condyles of the lower j aw rounded or elongate. 
First Cohors Primates. Hands ; brain with gyri ; dental system 
complete. 
1. Bimana. 2. Quadrumana. 
Second Cohors PUheiates. No hands in front, and rarely behind ; 
dental system frequently incomplete. 
8. Ohiroptera. 4. Insectivora. 6. Rodentia. 
Second Legio Mdsallantoxdes. Molars trenchant ; condyles of the lower 
jaw transversely enlarged. 
6. Carnivora. 7. Pinnipedia. 
Second Phalanx Hyiiaciens. Feet plantigrade and subungulate; four 
toes ; dental system complete ; no trunk. 
Third Phalanx PiiOBOSCiDiENS. Toes subungulate, live; a trunk. 
Fourth Phalanx Megallantoidiens. Toes with nails ; incisors ; never 
five toes ; digitigrade. 
1. Perissodactyla. 2. Bisulca. 3. Camelidse. 4. Tragulidse. 
6. Pecoridee. 
Fifth Phalanx Edentes. Toes subungulate ; no teeth in front of the 
mouth.
