There even occurs a unique order, still lower in the scale of organization -- so low, in fact, that it deserves to be regarded as but nascent mammalian: I mean, of course, the Monotremata.    From Wordnik.com.  [Darwin, and After Darwin (Vol. 1 and 3, of 3) An Exposition of the Darwinian Theory and a Discussion of Post-Darwinian Questions] Reference
