See Dibner Heralds of Science 195 Printing and the Mind of Man 276 Garrison-Morton 327. The most influential exposition of the typological approach to animal classification representing the greatest body of zoological facts that had yet been assembled; it served as the standard zoological manual for most of Europe during the first half of the nineteenth century. Cuvier's view of animal organization led him to an early recognition of the balance of nature both with respect to the functional balance of parts in the individual and the interdependence of groups in the "network of nature." However Cuvier's adherence to the concept of species as rigid unchanging types rendered him unable to account for the immense variation within species populations. Coleman pp. 94-98. DSB. .
