MONODELPHIA (i.e. " single uterus,"in allusion to the fusion of at least the basal portions of this organ, and in contradistinction to their duality in the Didelphia, or Marsupialia)

This article appears in Volume V18, Page 730 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MOL-MOS
MONODELPHIA (i.e. " single uterus,"in allusion to the fusion of at least the basal portions of this organ, and in contradistinction to their duality in the Didelphia, or Marsupialia) , Cuvier's name for the
group
  which includes all the orders of mammals (See MAMMA1.1A) except the
Marsupialia
  and
Monotremata
 ; other titles for this
group
  being Placentalia and Eutheria. With the
Monotremata
  (q.v.) this group has no near
affinity
 ; and while more nearly related to the
Marsupialia
  (q.v.), in which an imperfect allantoic
placenta
  is sometimes
developed
 , it is broadly distinguished therefrom by the invariable presence of a functional
placenta
  by the aid of which the foetus is nourished throughout the greater portion of
intra
 -uterine
life
 . Other distinctive features by which marsupials are separated from monodelphians or placentals will be found in the
article
  last mentioned. (R. L.*)
