Time of Mesozoic.
The Period of Forms of Life Averages: In bloom trees that increase in

To the closing of the Mesozoics they calculate, the great elevations of earth took

portions.<21 > This could not fail to have a great effect on
life, animal and vegetable.
During the Eocene or first division of the Tertiary age, us
has to simply notice the you consolidate progress of the life. There was
forests of kind of oaks, poplars maples, hickories and
other trees common, and other time they only founded in tropical
regions. Trees of palms were growing in the region of superior Missouri of
the United States. And England was clearly an earth of Palms, as
anybody less that thirteen kind is known to be growing
there. Cypresses, rates, and pines honored the scene.<22>
However, our special centers of interest in the mammals of
this epoch.
Illustration of The Paleotherium.--------
In the marsupials of epoch precedents only you/he/she was represented. But in
beds of the middle ones and the last portions of the period of Eocene us
meet with a sudden increase of the Mammalian life. Whale-as
animals were especially abundant in the seas; and on our Westerner
plans were animal as the tapirs of India and rhino-
