of the Middle Permian; and the principal genera of the Ganoids are Palaoniscus and Platysomus (fig. 137).

These are distinguished, as a class, firom the Amphibians^ by the fact that they are air- breathers throughout the whole of their life, and therefore are at no time provided with gills; whilst they are exempt from that metamorphosis which all the Amphibia undergo in early life, consequent upon their transition from an aquatic to a more or less purely aerial mode of respiration.
