""The Classification Of Animals Based On The Principle Of Cephalization: Classification Of Herbivores"" is a scientific book written by James Dwight Dana and first published in 1864. The book is focused on the classification of animals based on the principle of cephalization, which refers to the concentration of nervous tissue at the anterior end of an animal's body. In this book, Dana specifically examines the classification of herbivores, which are animals that primarily feed on plants. He discusses the anatomical and physiological characteristics of herbivorous animals, such as their digestive systems, teeth, and feeding habits. Dana also provides detailed descriptions and classifications of various herbivorous animal groups, including ruminants, rodents, and marsupials. He discusses the evolutionary relationships between these groups and their adaptations to different environments and diets. Overall, ""The Classification Of Animals Based On The Principle Of Cephalization: Classification Of Herbivores"" is a comprehensive scientific work that provides valuable insights into the classification and biology of herbivorous animals. It is a must-read for students and researchers in the fields of zoology, animal biology, and evolutionary biology.And Note On The Position Of Amphibians Among The Classes Of Vertebrates.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
