REGIUS PROFESSOR OF NATURAL HISTORY IN THE UNIVERSITY OF ABERDEEN All Rights reserved P E E F A C E. HAVING often been requested by students of Natural History to prepare a synoptical table of the classifica- tion of the Animal Kingdom, the present work is an attempt to comply with this requisition, and to sup- ply what the author believes to be a want among zoological workers. Nothing more, of course, could be attempted in the preparation of such a synopti- cal table than an enumeration of the sub -kingdoms, classes, orders, and sub-orders, with, in general, the families, and the principal genera illustrative of these. It has not been possible, however, without unduly ex- tending the limits of the work, to mention in all cases all the families, and this deficiency is especially notice- able in the case of such great groups as the Insects, the Fishes, and the Birds. It has also seemed advis- able not to give definitions, even of the shortest sort, of the subdivisions which are actually enumerated, except in the case of the sub-kingdoms only. It is hardly possible to make such definitions satisfactory within the limits here available ; and the introduction VI PEEFACE. of definitions might possibly have led to an abuse of what is really intended to be a mere guide to a line of study, and not a thing to be studied in itself. While definitions have been omitted, a limited num- ber of illustrations have been introduced, as self-ex- planatory of the text. Occasionally, also, remarks on doubtful points, or divergent views as to classification, are introduced, or alternative arrangements are sub- mitted ; and there are added to each group references to some of the sources of special information, which can be studied by advanced students. It seems hardly necessary to add that the purpose of such a classifica- tion as is here given, is not that it should be, even in parts, committed to memory, but simply that it may serve as a skeleton, which the student must endow with life by his own work.

(Extinct forms are marked with an asterisk. ) ANIMALS composed of undifferentiated protoplasm, or, at most, of protoplasm which is so far differentiated as to have developed a consistent external layer or wall and a central " nucleus " or " endoplast," the organism in the latter case becoming a " cell" In the most typical Protozoa the organ- ism remains unicellular, and in no case are definite " tissues " developed by the differentiation of a primitive cellular aggre- gate. No definite " body-cavity " is in any case developed. There is no recognisable nervous system, and there is either no differentiated alimentary apparatus, or, at most, a rudi- mentary one. Most naturalists now divide the animal kingdom into the two primary sections of the Protozoa and the Metazoa ; the former comprising animals which are essentially unicellular, or consist of simple undifferentiated masses of sarcode — while the latter comprises animals which commence their existence as single cells, but which ultimately form cellular aggre- gates, certain of the cells composing them being differentiated so as to A 2 CLASSIFICATION OF THE ANIMAL KINGDOM. form definite " tissues." The Protozoa and Metazoa agree, therefore, with one another in the fact that they are, to begin with, simple undivided masses of protoplasm, but they differ in the results produced by the development of this protoplasm. In the case of the Protozoa, the original mass of protoplasm may remain undifferentiated, or it may develop a " nucleus," and become thus a " cell ; " but it does not become converted into a complex structure composed of metamorphosed cells or " tissues." On the other hand, in the Metazoa, the original mass of protoplasm is not only always a true cell, but it becomes converted by a process of regular division into a primitive aggregate of cells, and these secondary cells become finally differentiated into the complex "tissues" of which the body of the adult is composed. The principal difficulty in the way of accepting this primary, and in the main natural, division of the animal kingdom, is afforded by the Sponges, which are morphologically Protozoa, while, according to the views of many naturalists, they are developmentally Metazoa. That is to say, they present in their morphological elements so close a resemblance to certain of the Protozoa that we can hardly doubt of their close genetic connection with the latter ; while, on the other hand, they exhibit in their development (as this has been usually interpreted) the " segmen- tation " of the primitive ovular cell which is characteristic of the Metazoa. Whether or not they possess any definite internal vacuity which can be properly compared with the " body-cavity " of the normal Metazoa may still legitimately remain a matter for doubt. It is also still a matter of reasonable doubt whether the development of the Sponges is really pro- perly comparable to that of the Metazoa ; and, if we accept the views of Mr Saville Kent upon this subject, it certainly is not so. It should also be borne in mind that there are certain of the Protozoa (e.g., some of the Radiolaria) in which it is not possible to absolutely assert that the adult is unicellular. As regards the primary divisions of the Protozoa, it has not been un- usual to accept the presence of a permanent mouth, or ingestive aperture, as a good mark of distinction ; and, in accordance with this, the Protozoa have been divided into the two primary sections of the Astomata (com- prising the Gregarinida and Rhizopoda), and the mouth-bearing forms, or Stomatoda (comprising the Infusoria). Many of the Infusoria, however, do not possess a mouth in the proper sense of the term ; and Mr Saville Kent has recently (' Manual of Infusoria ') proposed the following classi- fication of the Protozoa, based upon a more accurate interpretation of the methods in which the ingestion of food is effected by different members of the sub-kingdom : — SECTION A, PANTOSTOMATA. — Ingestive area diffuse. This section comprises the Gfregarinida and the most typical forms of the Ehizo- poda (viz., the Amcebea, Monera, Foraminifera, and Radiolaria.) SECTION B, DISCOSTOMATA. — Ingestive area discoidal, not constitut- PROTOZOA. 3 ing a distinct mouth. The principal forms included in this sec- tion are the Flagellate Infusoria and the Sponges. SECTION C, EUSTOMATA. — Ingestive area taking the form of a distinct mouth. This section comprises only the Ciliated Infusoria. SECTION D, POLYSTOMATA. — Ingestive areas distinct and multiple. This section contains only the Suctorial Infusoria. CLASS I.— GREGARINIDA. ORDER I. — MONOCYSTIDEA. — Monocystis (fig. 1, B). ORDER II. — EUGREGARINIDA. — Gregarina (fig. 1, A and c).

Hertwig and Lesser place the Arcellina along with Gromia and the Foraminifera in a common division, to which they give the name of Thalamophora. The Arcellina, however, differ from the Foraminifera, and agree with the Amoeba in the blunt lobose character of the pseudo- podia.

(Fig. a is after Wyville Thomson ; the others are after Williamson. All the figures are greatly enlarged.) The above classification, except in the retention of the sub-orders Im- perforata and Perforata, is that adopted by Mr H. B. Brady. It is true that the section of the Imperforata includes various forms in which the shell is known to be pierced to a larger or smaller extent with pseudo- PROTOZOA. podial apertures, so that this division is not a strictly natural one ; but the majority of forms included under this title have truly an imperforate shell, and the name is one so long current and so widely used that it seems unadvisable to entirely discard it.

It is still a matter of opinion whether the Heliozoa should be regarded as a division of the Radiolaria, or as a distinct order of Rhizopods. The chief differences which separate the Heliozoa from the typical Radiolar- ians are, that the former possess no central membranous capsule and no gelatinous investment, both these structures being, as a rule, present in the latter ; but in other respects there is a close general likeness between the two.

ORDER I. — FLAGELLATA. — Monas, Cercomonas, Monosiga (fig. 6, E), Codosiga, Euglena, Peridinium, Cemtium (fig. 6, D). ORDER II. — SUCTORIA (Tentaculifera, Sav. Kent). — Podo- phrya, Acineta.

There is much ground for separating the so-called Suctorial and Flag- ellate Infusoria as two distinct and independent classes of the Protozoa. The latter, in particular, have very close affinities with the Sponges, though they are essentially unicellular organisms.

ORDER IV. — CALCAREA (Calcispongise). — Grantia,Leucosolenia. The most unnatural point in the above classification is the union under the head of " Ceratose Sponges " of types like Euspongia, in which spicules are not developed, with other types in which the horny skeleton is accompanied by siliceous spicules, or may be even replaced by the latter. A more natural classification probably is that adopted by Zittel, in accordance with which the Sponges are divided into the following orders : — ORDER I. — MYXOSPONGLE. — Halisarca. ORDER II. — CERATOSPONGLE. — Euspongia (Sponges of com- merce). ORDER III. — MONACTINELLID^E. — Ralichondria. ORDER IV. — TETRACTINELLID^E. — Geodia, Tethya. ORDER V. — LITHISTIDAE. — Discoderma. ORDER VI. — HEXACTINELLID^E. — Holtenia. ORDER VII. — CALCISPONGI^E. — Grantia. The systematic position of the Sponges has been a matter of much controversy among naturalists. Their animal nature is now universally admitted, and there is also no substantial difference of opinion as to the broad outlines of their anatomical structure. In all known forms of the Sponges, the organism consists of an aggregate of protoplasmic bodies (the " sponge-particles " or " sarcoids "), which differ in their characters in different parts of the Sponge, or at different periods of its life, but which are probably all fundamentally the same. Some of the sponge- particles precisely and in every respect resemble Flagellate Infusoria, PROTOZOA. 11 Fig. 7. — Holtenia Carpenteri, a siliceous Sponge belonging to the group of the Hexactiiiellidce. (After Sir Wyville Thomson.) 12 CLASSIFICATION OF THE ANIMAL KINGDOM. while others present an equally close resemblance to Amcebce; and others have more or less completely coalesced to form a gelatinous or mucilaginous common matrix or " cytoblastema." This protoplasmic aggregate may or may not be supported by a skeleton of diverse composi- tion and structure ; but it is always so disposed as to be traversed by a series of canals, which convey water in and out of the organism, and are connected with respiration and the procuring of food. These canals com- mence on the surface by numerous small "inhalant" apertures or " pores," which admit the external water, and they ramify through the substance of the Sponge. They ultimately open on the surface by a series of " exhalant " canals, which converge to a common aperture of large size — the so-called " osculum," which serves as an outlet for the water- currents. The entire system of water-canals may be lined with flagellate sponge-particles, similar in structure to Flagellate Infusoria ; or they are, more commonly, dilated at intervals into globular chambers, which are lined by these flagellate sarcoids (fig. 8), the vibrations of the flagella of these serving to keep up a circulation of water through the body of the Sponge. Lastly, a Sponge may consist of one excretory opening or " oscu- lum," together with the " pores " belonging to this ; or it may consist of a larger or smaller number of such oscula, each with its proper comple- ment of " pores." Until within the last few years, Sponges have been generally regarded by naturalists as belonging to the Protozoa, and as either referable to the Rhizopoda, or as constituting a separate division of Protozoa. Recently, however, the view has been put forward by Professor Hseckel, and has been largely accepted by zoologists, that the Sponges are properly Metazoa, and that they are truly allied to the Corals, and therefore properly refer- able to the Ccelenterata. As a modification of this view, the Sponges are regarded as constituting a group of Metazoa intermediate between the Coelenterates and the Protozoa. If Hseckel's view as to the affinities of the Sponges be received, it is necessary to accept the view which this dis- tinguished writer advocates with regard to the development of the Sponges, — namely, that the ovum of the Spongida undergoes a regular process of " segmentation," consequent on fecundation by a spermatozoon, and that it becomes converted into an embryo (" gastrula ") composed of an outer and inner cellular layer, enclosing a central cavity. On the other hand, a large amount of evidence has been brought forward by various observers, and notably by Mr Saville Kent, which would go to show that true sexual reproduction, by means of proper " ova " and " spermatozoa," is of very doubtful occurrence among the Sponges ; and that it is very questionable, therefore, if there is truly any such phenomenon in their development as the " segmentation " of an ovular cell. The supposed two-layered " gas- trula " of the Sponges would rather appear to be really an asexually pro- duced " swarin-gemmule," composed partly or wholly of flagellate zooids or monads, entirely similar in their structure to the Flagellate Infusoria, and resulting from the segmentation of a single " sponge-particle " of the PROTOZOA. 13 adult Sponge, without previous impregnation by a spermatozoid. Upon this view, therefore, the development of the Sponge becomes capable of being strictly paralleled by that of several groups of undoubted Protozoa, but acquires a significance entirely different from that which must be ascribed to the development of the Metazoa. ff Fig. 8. — Structure of Spongida. A, Vertical section of the outer layer of Halisarca lobu- laris, a Sponge in which the skeleton is wanting, enlarged 75 times (after F. E. Schultze) : pp, "Pores," or openings of afferent canals by which water is conducted to the ciliated chambers or " ampullaceous sacs "(a a); e, Commencement of a larger efferent canal, con- ducting from the ampullaceous sacs to the deeper canals, by which the water is finally car- ried off to be expelled from the "oscula;" g g, Young stages of the reproductive bodies or spores.

Accepting, then, in the meanwhile, the last-mentioned views as to the real character and import of the development of the Spongida, it seems inevitable that these organisms must, with our present knowledge, be in- cluded among the Protozoa. This conclusion, moreover, is the one which is clearly deducible from a study of the structure of the adult organism, 14 CLASSIFICATION OF THE ANIMAL KINGDOM. since it is certain that there exists an almost absolute identity of structure between the flagellate zooids of the Sponges and the Flagellate Infusoria, — the reference of the latter to the Protozoa having never been called in question. It may be added, that even if it were proved that the Sponges were properly referable to the Metazoa, it would still require very much more evidence than has yet been brought forward, before their relation- ships with the Coelenterata could be reasonably admitted. Upon the whole, therefore, it is probably best — if only as a provisional arrange- ment— to regard the Sponges as a special division of the Protozoa, closely allied to the Infusoria, but with sufficient peculiarities of their own to entitle them to a special place and a special name (Porifera).

If this course be followed, the Echinoidea, Asteroidea, Ophiuroidea, and Holothuroidea will constitute a second great primary division or class of Echinoderms, to which the name of Echinozoa may be given.

THE body is usually more or less elongated, and is always bilaterally symmetrical, instead of being radially disposed. Typically, the body is composed of morphologically similar segments, which may be definite or indefinite, and which are arranged along a longitudinal axis. Lateral appendages may be absent or present, and when present are bilaterally dis- posed. A nervous system is present, consisting, in the lower forms, of one or two anteriorly-placed ganglia, but having typically the form of a ventrally-placed, double, gang- liated chain.

The genera Albertia, Seison, and Balatro comprise certain abnormal Rotifers, in which there is no wheel-organ, and the cilia are either greatly reduced or wholly wanting. They are ecto- or endo-parasites. The genus Pedalion comprises Rotifers with limb-like appendages, moved by special muscles, and it is sometimes regarded as the type of a special section of the Rotifers (Arthroptera). The genus Echinoderes, lastly, includes certain minute marine organ- isms, in which the body is imperfectly segmented, but there are no limbs. The anterior segment of the body is furnished with booklets, and consti- tutes a protrusible proboscis. The genus forms a link between the Scol- ecids and the higher Anmilosa. Fig. 37. — Rotifera.

ANNULOSA. 47 Only the principal families of the Annelida are given above. The genus Tomopteris is often considered as forming a special section of the Polychsetous Annelides, to which the name of Gymnocopa (Grube) has been given. The aberrant genus Polygordius is also sometimes referred to a special division of the Annelida, characterised, among other things, by the absence of seise and parapodia. (Quatrefages, Histoire Naturelle des Anneles marins et tfeau douce, Paris, 1863 ; M'Intosh, Article "Annelides," Encyclop. Britann., 1875 ; Ehlers, Die Borstenwurmer, Leipzig, 1864 and 1868.)

Micros. Sci., 1856.) The genus Balanoglpssiis is an aberrant type, which is sometimes placed in the neighbourhood of the Nemertean worms ; while others regard it as the representative of a special section of the Anarthropoda, to which the name of Enteropneusta is applied. 48 CLASSIFICATION OF THE ANIMAL KINGDOM.

There are great difficulties in the way of arriving at any final conclu- sion as to the systematic position of the three groups of the Polyzoa, Tuni- cata, and Brachiopoda. Many high authorities now regard the Polyzoa as an aberrant group of worms, related to the true Annelides, the grounds for this conclusion being mainly derived from a study of the develop- mental history of the Polyzoa. Upon similar grounds, many naturalists consider the Brachiopoda as also a modified group of the worms. Lastly, the Tunicata are often looked upon as a degraded type of the Vertebmta.
