The subject mnemonic for taxonomy in biology (kingdom, phylum, class, order, etc.) crossed my mind as I tried to figure out what the Russian text meant by тип (e.g., тип Mollusca) when listed in a column headed вид (species).
For some reason - fatigue, probably, as I was up until 2 am this morning - I figured тип was a subdivision of вид, but as far as I know, there ain't nothin' below a species (at least at the level I work at).
Of course, it would help if I actually knew anything substantial about biology (as taught in the classroom, natch), as the dictionary - and Google - coughed up the dope that Mollusca is the name of a phylum, at which point the structure of the table became crystal clear to me.
Live and learn.
Cheers...
