What contributions made by scientists have helped to systematize the classi- fication s of pi a nts and an im alsf It is said that Alexander the Great was a pupil of Aristotle, the Father of Biology. Alexander held his teacher in the highest esteem, and, during his campaign and conquests, kept a group of couriers to carry unusual plant and animal forms back to his friend and teacher. These specimens came in such large numbers that Aristotle had to devise a means of caring for them in an orderly manner. He used a system of classification that was largely based on the habitat of the organisms. For his animals he had eight groups, four of which were blood-containing, and knoAvn as mam- mals, birds, egg-laying quadrupeds, and fishes; while four were bloodless, namely, squid-like animals, Crustacea, insects, and animals with shells.

Various other scientists changed this system, but Carolus Linnaeus, a Swedish natu- ralist, devised the system upon which the modern method of classification is based.
