First Edition of Cuviers most comprehensive work which embodied the whole of his previous researches on the structure of living and fossil animals and laid the foundations of modern comparative anatomy. Here Cuvier introduced his famous classification system according to which the animal kingdom is divided into four main groups vertebrata mollusca articulata insects lobsters and radiata all remaining types. "This type theory is Cuviers greatest contribution in the sphere of systematization and represents although in a somewhat modified form the basis of all subsequent animal classification." Nordenskiöld Opposing the current view that the structure of an animal determined its functions and habits Cuvier maintained that an animals structure was due to its functions and habits. Throughj the exact study of the anatomy of living and fossil species he could reconstruct extinct forms from a few surviving bones. At the end of Volume IV pp. 95-170 is an important annotated bibliography of zoological literature. Brit. Museum Cat. of Natural History I 410. Brunet II 457 incorrectly citing date 1816.
