Talk:Natural History, Mollusca/Tunicata

Latest comment: 12 years ago by Beeswaxcandle

Please be advised that at the time of this book being published Tunicates were deemed to be molluscs. Unfortunately this is a fallacious classification as molluscs are invertebrates and tunicates are vertebrates. Should this section of the book be included or dropped? unsigned comment by 212.225.116.21 (talk) .

This publication represents the understanding in 1854. While taxonomy has moved on since then, by no means should this section of the book be removed from enWS. That would be like tearing a chapter out of a library book because it contained information that is out of date. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 18:36, 16 March 2012 (UTC)Reply
