Dibner, 195: "A man of strong opinions, Cuvier developed and applied the principle of the correlation of parts in determinig the nature of a whole body. By exact study of the anatomy of living and fossil species, he could reconstruct exact forms from a few surviving bones. From his accumulated investigations he devided all animals into four great groupings: vertebrates, molluscs, articulates (insects, lobsters), radiates (all remaining types). He was no evolutionist and believed species were fixed from the beginning, the body form alone persisting throughout timeless variations in substance. Fossil forms were account for by a number of major catastrophes. From fossils bones discovered in 1800, Cuvier showed that the extinct mammoth had been closer to the Indian elephant than the latter was to the African elephant. Later he reconstructed some 150 extinct species." - Tls. etw. stockfleckig u. ger. gebräunt, Bde. 1 u. 2 tls. etw. tintenfleckig im Vorderschnitt u. am Schluß im Rand braunfleckig, St. "Slg.
