The Primates form the concluding legion and include Lemurs, Monkeys and Apes, and Man. They are predominant chiefly by virtue of their mobile, grasping hands, and their intelligence. Quite appropriately Primates have been called 'the inquisitive ; (Figs. 93, 228, 272-274.) So is completed our glance at the chief types — phyla — in the varied panorama of animal life from Protozoon to Mammal. Necessarily brief, it is adequate for our purpose if we are impressed with certain outstanding facts, not the least significant being the versatility and prodigality of life. Nature has tried, as it were, one experiment after another: some phyla have prospered and then waned; some have gone up blind alleys and stayed there; some have met the conditions of life to the full and have flourished: two in outstanding fashion — Arthropods and Vertebrates. Only some, then, and not all, have made a real contribution, but this has been.
