He used precisely the same arguments in his paper on _Alytes_ to destroy the vertebral theory of the skull.

In the midwife toad (_Alytes obstetricans_) the male carries the eggs about attached to his legs, respiration is effected by enlarged external gills, and the larvae are hatched in water.

In fishes, however, the male of the little Sea-horse (Hippocampus) is provided with a ventral pouch in which the eggs are sheltered, and the same class presents us with a mode of carrying the eggs still more bizarre than that of Alytes obstetricans just related.
