    Aristotle. Red-blooded animals when in their perfect state have either no extremities, or they have one or two pair. Those animals which have more than two pair are not red-blooded. In some animals the correspond- ing limbs are different in form, but analogous in use. Thus the ante- rior extremities of birds are neither hands nor feet, but wings. Fish have no limbs, but appendages, called fins, commonly four in num- ber, sometimes two.

Their extremities never exceed two pair in number: sometimes one pair is wanting, sometimes both. The form of the extremities va- ries according to the uses to which they are to be applied; the anterior extremities being hands, or feet, or wings, or fins; the posterior, feet or fins. Il n’y a jamais plus de deux paires de membres ; mais ellés manquent quelquefois lune ou Jautre, ou toutes les deux, et prennent des formes relatives aux mouvemens qu’elles doivent exécuter. Les membres anterieurs peuvent étre faits en mains, en pieds, en ailes ou en nageoires; les postérieurs, en pieds ou en nageoires. p. 63. The division of vertebrated ani- mals includes man, the mammalia consisting of viviparous quadru- peds and the cetacea, birds, reptiles of all kinds, many of which, though Oviparous, are quadrupeds, and fish.
