On the problem of a new classification of Vertebrates
Abstract
The progress of the study in the department of vertebrate palaeontology made the problem of a new classification of the vertebrate group quite up to data. Taking this into consideration the writer gives an account of the views of the Swedish scientist G. Säve-Söderbergh, which are expressed in his article "Some points of view concerning the evolution of the Vertebrates and the classification of this group", and in the table appended to it (see the Russian text). Whatever may be the inadequateness of the classification proposed by G. Säve-Söderbergh, it may give use, in the opinion of the author, to a fruitful discussion of the problem, it also points out its insufficiently studied regions and thus contributes to the solution of this problem.
