LINNÆUS defines the object of classification as follows:—“Methodus, anima scientiæ, indigitat, primo intuitu, quodcunque corpus naturale, ut hoc corpus dicat proprium suum nomen, et hoc nomen quæcumque de nominato corpore beneficio seculi innotuere, ut sic in summa confusione rerum apparenti, summus conspiciatur Naturæ ordo” (Systema Naturæ, ed. 12, p. 13.)
