Note 91 — Chapter VII · THE SUBCLASS EUTHERIA AND THE ORDER EDENTATA
Reading edition
An attempt has been made to represent these views by the following classification:
Order EDENTATA. Suborder Pilosa. Bradypodidæ. Megatheriidæ. Myrmecophagidæ. Suborder Loricata. Dasypodidæ. Suborder Squamata. Manidæ. Suborder Tubulidentata. Orycteropodidæ.
It may be objected to this arrangement that the present divergence between the Sloths and Anteaters is hardly sufficiently indicated by their association in one suborder.—Flower, “On the Arrangement of the Orders and Families of Mammals,” Proc. Zool. Soc. 1883, p. 178.
