Thanks CD for his reply and, in attempting to clarify his question [see 13358], asks: "how could the first mammal species be nourished, if its immediate progenitor was non-mammal?"
There is ‘some gradation in perfection with mammals in the mammery glands’. Discusses milk secretion in Echidna. Instances a fish in which the ova hatch in a sack on the male and the young feed on mucus secreted by the sack lining; ‘here … we see what might be the commencement of a simple mammery gland’.
Thanks CD for answering his query about evolution.
