• (39a) the species of the tiger = (marginally) OK

• (39b) the species of tigers = (marginally) OK

• (39c) the species Panthera Tigris = OK

• (40a-i) the species of tiger = ungrammatical

• (40a-ii) the species of tiger we just talked about = OK

• (40b-i) a species of tiger = OK

• (40b-ii) that species of tiger = OK
........................................................................................
I am wondering what is the difference between the following:

1. 39a VS. 39b

2.39a, 39b, and 39c

3. why is 40i incorrect?

4. what is the difference between 40s?
