Editors' Notes
Figure explanation: the letter \g\". mentioned in the figure explanations above as the designation for scapular rods, is apparently in error. On p.934 Haeckel uses \"d\" for scapular rods, which is consistent with the illustration.
On p.955, for \"odd caudal foot (t)\" read \"odd caudal foot (c)\"."[comment from RadWorld database]
