Excerpt from The Invertebrata: A Manual for the Use of Students
In the great assemblage of triploblastic phyla, the backboned animals, or Vertebrata properly so-called, stand as a branch of one phylum, the Chordata. Yet their considerable numbers, the size, high organization, and intelligent activity of their members, and the fact that Man is one of them, give them an importance so great that they have always been the subject of a distinct department of zoo logical study, and were at one time regarded as a primary branch of the Animal Kingdom. That standing they have lost; but it is still necessary for many purposes to treat them apart.
The term Invertebrata is retained to cover all the non-chordate phyla and the chordates other than the Vertebrata. In that sense it is used in this book. Only the Cephalochorda which, though they are not vertebrates, have much in common with those animals, are left aside as best studied with them.

Excerpt from The Invertebrata: A Manual for the Use of Students
The Invertebrata have long since ceased to constitute one of the primary divisions in the scientific classification of the Animal King dom. Their name is now no more than a convenience for designating a group of phyla with which it is often necessary to deal as a whole. The primary lines of real cleavage in the Animal Kingdom divide it, not into Vertebrata and Invertebrata, but into three unequal sec tions, the Protozoa, Parazoa and Metazoa, which are ranked in the following chapters as subkingdoms.
