PROP. XL. The scapulary or fore-limbs of (til the vcrtebratcd animals are homologous to one another. The variety among these organs occurs by a metamorphosis or omission of ele- mentary quantity.— The right scapulary organ is perfectly identical with the left in the same animal body. Both the fore-limbs of the human body are identical; those of other mam- mals are identical ; those of a bird are iden- tical ; those of a reptile are identical ; and those of a fish are also identical. Os- seous quantity is equal for both fore- limbs of the same animal. But the fore- limbs of all animals are not quantitatively equal, far from it. The fore-limbs of a mam- mal differ by quantity from the fore-limbs of a bird, those of a bird from those of a reptile, and those of a reptile from those of a fish. The mammal fore-limbs manifest a quantitative difference amongst all species of that class; the avian fore-limbs the same; the reptilian fore-limbs the same ; the piscean fore-limbs the same also. The ana- tomist who would undertake the task of re- cording the quantitative difference manifested amongst all the fore-limbs of the vertebrated classes, would require a chart as free as space and a leisure as unconfined as time. As quantitative difference is of such infinite ac- count, I shall not therefore recor
