Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Curious Creatures in Zoology by John Ashton. Let us commence our researches into curious Zoology with the noblest of created beings, Man; and, if we may believe Darwin, he must have gone through many phases, and gradual mutations, before he arrived at his present proud position of Master and Conqueror of the World.This philosopher does not assign a high place in the animal creation to proud man's protogenitor, and we ought almost to feel thankful to him for not going further back. He begins with man as an Ascidian, which is the lowest form of anything of a vertebrate character, with which we are acquainted; and he says thus, in his “Descent of Man”:— Includes: AMAZONS PYGMIES GIANTS EARLY MEN WILD MEN HAIRY MEN THE OURAN OUTAN SATYRS THE SPHYNX APES ANIMAL LORE THE MANTICORA THE LAMIA THE CENTAUR THE GORGON THE UNICORN THE RHINOCEROS THE GULO THE BEAR THE FOX THE WOLF WERE-WOLVES THE ANTELOPE THE HORSE THE MIMICK DOG THE CAT THE LION THE LEONTOPHONUS—PEGASUS—CROCOTTA THE LEUCROCOTTA—THE EALE—CATTLE FEEDING BACKWARDS ANIMAL MEDICINE THE SU THE LAMB-TREE THE CHIMÆRA THE HARPY AND SIREN THE BARNACLE GOOSE REMARKABLE EGG MOON WOMAN THE GRIFFIN THE PHŒNIX THE SWALLOW THE MARTLET, AND FOOTLESS BIRDS SNOW BIRDS THE SWAN THE ALLE, ALLE THE HOOPOE AND LAPWING THE OSTRICH THE HALCYON THE PELICAN THE TROCHILUS WOOLLY HENS TWO-HEADED WILD GEESE FOUR-FOOTED DUCK FISH MERMEN WHALES THE SEA-MOUSE THE SEA-HARE THE SEA-PIG THE WALRUS THE ZIPHIUS THE SAW FISH THE ORCA THE DOLPHIN THE NARWHAL THE SWAMFISCK THE SAHAB THE CIRCHOS THE REMORA THE DOG-FISH AND RAY THE SEA DRAGON THE STING RAY SENSES OF FISHES ZOOPHYTES SPONGES THE KRAKEN CRAYFISH AND CRABS THE SEA-SERPENT SERPENTS WORMES AND DRAGONS THE CROCODILE THE BASILISK AND COCKATRICE THE SALAMANDER THE TOAD THE LEECH THE SCORPION THE ANT THE BEE THE HORNET

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ÊLetÊus commence our researches into curious Zoology with the noblest of created beings, Man; and, if we may believe Darwin, he must have gone through many phases, and gradual mutations, before he arrived at his present proud position of Master and Conqueror of the World. This philosopher does not assign a high place in the animal creation to proud manÕs protogenitor, and we ought almost to feel thankful to him for not going further back. He begins with man as an Ascidian, which is the lowest form of anything of a vertebrate character, with which we are acquainted; and he says thus, in his ÒDescent ofÊManÓ:Ñ ÒThe most ancient progenitors in the kingdom of the Vertebrata, at which we are able to obtain an obscure glance, apparently consisted of a group of marine animals, resembling the larv¾ of existing Ascidians. These animals probably gave rise to a group of fishes, as lowly organised as the lancelet; and from these the Ganoids, and other fishes like the Lepidosiren, must have been developed. From such fish a very small advance would carry us on to the amphibians. We see that birds and reptiles were once intimately connected together; andÊthe Monotremata now, in a slight degree, connect mammals with reptiles. But no one can, at present, say by what line of descent the three higher, and related classesÑnamely, mammals, birds, and reptiles, were derived from either of the two lower vertebrate classes, namely, amphibians, and fishes. In the class of mammals the steps are not difficult to conceive which led from the ancient Monotremata to the ancient Marsupials; and from these to the early progenitors of the placental mammals. We may thus ascend to the Lemurid¾; and the interval is not wide from these to the Simiad¾. The Simiad¾ then branched off into two great stems, the New World, and Old World monkeys; and from the latter, at a remote period, Man, the wonder and glory of the Universe, proceeded.Ó
