Summary "The Cambridge Natural History, Vol. 05 (of 10)" edited by S. F. Harmer and A. E. Shipley is a scientific publication written during the late 19th century. This volume focuses on various invertebrate groups, including the genus Peripatus, Myriapoda, and insects. It explores their classification, anatomy, habits, and geographical distribution, providing detailed descriptions and observations that are significant to the field of zoology. The opening of this volume includes an introduction to the genus Peripatus, discussing its established place within the Arthropoda group and its unique characteristics, which blend features of both Annelida and Arthropoda. Adam Sedgwick elaborates on the external features, habits, breeding, and anatomy of Peripatus, highlighting its viviparous nature, reliance on a moist habitat, and distinctive physical traits that contribute to its beauty and uniqueness among invertebrates. The opening sets a robust scientific tone, engaging readers with a comprehensive overview of the natural history of these fascinating creatures. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
