In all the vertebrates, from the lowest fishes and amphibians up to the apes and man, we have the same type of struc- ture, the same characteristic disposition and relations of the chief organs ; and they differ materially from the corresponding features in all other animals. The mysterious affinities of the vertebrates induced Goethe, 140 years ago, long before Cuvier, to make prolonged and laborious studies in their comparative anatomy at Jena and Weimar.
