Species


Definition:

  • (n.) Visible or sensible presentation; appearance; a sensible percept received by the imagination; an image.
  • (n.)

Thus, man is a species, under animal as a genus; and man, in its turn, may be regarded as a genus with respect to European, American, or the like, as species.
