The progress of science is daily effecting modifications in the views which Cuvier disseminated as to the classification of animals in his famous work the 'Regne Animal; but he will long be regarded, both in France and in England, as the loadstone of Naturalists, and the legislator of Zoology. As the outward characters, (habits, and properties of living animals, their good and evil relations to man &c., cannot be profitably discussed within the limits assigned to this article, it will be confined to the exposition of the principles of their classification, the reader being referred to the various zoological articles interspersed throughout the work for a full account of the points above alluded to, and many others too numerous to mention. The artificial system of classification being now abandoned by the consent of naturalists, no advantage would be gained by detailing it in this place, and we shall therefore confine ourselves to an outline of the system of the great Cuvier, which, as already explained, has taken Nature for the basis of its distributions. According to Cuvier, the Animal Kingdom is primarily divided into four provinces or subZOOLYTE. kingdoms, viz. Vertebrata, Mollusca, Articulata, and Radiata. ZoOPHYTIC. Pertaining to the Zoophytes. An animal substance, petrified or fossil. ZOOPHYTOLOGY. That branch of Natural ZYGODACTYLOUS. Having the toes joined in History which treats of the structure, habits, &c. of Zoophytes. pairs: as in the parrot tribe. ZYGOMATIC. Pertaining to the zygoma, a bone of the head, called also os jugale, or cheek bone, or to the bony arch under which the temporal muscle passes. THE END.
