Tyndall also achieved a reputation as a lecturer and did much valuable work in the pop- ularizing of science. Few scientific lecturers have been able to present the principles and tacts of phvsics to the general public so successfullv as Tyndall. He visited the United States in 1872- 73. on a lecture tour, and a few years after he gave the proceeds to forward the cause of original research in the United States. He wrote many popular treatises on scientific subjects, which have been translated into foreign lan- guages. Among his works are: Heat Considered as a Mode of Motion (1863 and subsequent edi- tions) ; On Sound (1867 and subsequent edi- tions) ; Fragments of Scienee for Unscienti/io People (1871 and subsequent editions) ; Six Lec- tures on Liqlit Delivered in America in 1872-3 (1873 and laier editions) ; JVeit Fragments (1892 and 1897): Notes on Light (1870); Xotes on Eleetrical Phei'onieua and Theories (1870).

TYPE (Lat. typus, from Gk. riJ-of, type, figure, impress, blow, from tv^tciv, typtein, to strike ; probably connected with aTvuaCsif. sty- pazein, to push, Skt. tup, sihump, to destroy, Lat. stuprum, violation). In zoology: (1) The name applied by De Blainville to the four branches of Cuvicr. These 'types' were founded on what were then considered as four fundamen- tal 'plans' of organization. (See Cl.ssifica- TION OF Animals.) Cuvier and his successors, notably Von Bael and L. Agassiz, taught that these types existed, as it were, side by side, the Vertebrata the highest, but with no genetic con- nection, and that each type was characterized by a distinct plan of structui-e — a view now super- seded by that of the doctrine' of descent. See Evolution; Piivlogeny. (2) The 'type' or 'typical species' of a genua is the one first described, or regarded as the most typical, and about which the other species were clustered. A 'type specimen' is that individual, or the several individuals, which served as the basis for the description of a new species. The careful preservation of an author's type speci- men is all-important in systematic zoologi;' and botany, as it is the ultimate source of appeal in unraveling complicated cases of synonymy. TYPE. In theology, an image or representa- tion of some object which is called the antitype (q.v.). It is ap|)lipd chiefly, although not exclu- sively, to those prophetic prefigurings of the per- sons and things of the new dis|iensation which are found in the ritual, and even in the history of the Old Testament. Siiint Paul and other sacred writers speak of the ancient types of things to come. Of the types of the Old Testament, many are directly pointed out as such in their very in- stitution; many also are distinctly apjilicd in the
