1) The document discusses the classification of chordates, focusing on the phylum Chordata and class Agnatha. It describes two orders within Agnatha - Ostracodermi and Cyclostomata.
2) Key details are provided about the classes Ostracodermi and Cyclostomata. Ostracodermi were extinct jawless fishes with armored skin and internal ears. Cyclostomata are living jawless fishes with circular mouths.
3) The lamprey Petromyzon and hagfish Myxine are then discussed in more detail, contrasting their characteristics such as tentacles, eyes, sex and development.
