    aSftpiauattou of the $latcs. The object of these plates is to represent the nervous system in the invertebral animals; one animal has been selected from each class, with the exception of the zoophytes, which are des- titute of nerves. They are from dissections made for this purpose. The nervous system of the acephalous mollus- ca has been represented in preference to that of the cephalopode, on account of its peculiarity, and the wider difference of its character from the vertebral, and from the other invertebral sys- tems. . The crustaceous system was placed first in or- der, and more minutely described, because it is well fitted to give a general notion of the knotted nerve and the rest of the nervous system in inver- tebral animals. The worms are represented bv the leech, and the insects by the centipede. These drawings were made by Dr. Flagg, to whose kindness and skill I am under great obli- gations.
