Some remarks on meronomy

The author discusses some aspects of meronomy that according S.V. Meyen is a separate science which being a complementary to taxonomy can transform this descriptive discipline to nomothetic one. However in many publications meronomy is considered as a variant of ''organismic typology'' mainly focused on ''archaetypical'' organism. The construction of natural system needs another typology based on the idea of system integrity. Not ''the type of organism'' but its place and connections in the system of organisms are important. Connections within a system providing a high degree of integrity are discussed. ''Meyen's program'' of systematic nomothetisation with the aids of refrens can be carried out only in the framework of classificatory typology.
