CARNIVORA. 
m 
observations in the animal kingdom have been al- 
ready frequently made, and a probable hypothesis, 
which has been founded on such premises, has been 
alluded to. 
The bats and seals are generally arranged with 
the carnivora, but the singular powers of flight of the 
former, and the marine habits of the latter, separate 
them widely from that order 5 they will therefore be 
treated as distinct, being more remarkable for other 
properties than that of their flesh-eating regimen.
