of the ponies of Shetland, it fed on the lawns.<24 > Animals that chew
the food bolus is present, or at least it had next to representatives.<25>
Among the animals that you/they meat-eat creatures that resemble to foxes they were,
wolverines and hyenas.<26 > This show what had a great advance
is done. But, besides all these, we am introduced here with
representatives of the order of Quadrumana, or it four-gave
animals. Many son-in-laws of lemurs are found in both America
and Europe.
Now the Quadrumanas are the order under man. Therefore it seems
what of period of Eocene, all the forms of the life < the i>below < / the>
men are represented. The time seems to be to course of hand when we am able
you look, with some trust, for traces of the presence of man
him. We have to be therefore more cautious in
our investigations.
The epoch that follows on after the Eocene is designate as the
Miocene. We have to remember that, although recent in a geologic
feels, still it is immensely remote when it measured from the standard
of years. We have to ask far in all the outskirtses of this
by the time. The geographical characteristics are due to widely be
different from the present.
In the first place, earth's elevation to the north has to have,
is enough to have connected the areas of earth of the Northerner
Hemisphere--the north America, with Asia < 27 > and Greenland; and this
country according to it is due to be united with Iceland, and, through
the British Islands, with Europe. But, to compensate for this
earth's mass to the north, the great portions of Plant and Southerner
Europe both under of the waves.<28 > The test of this wide ones
mass of earth will be found in the wide distribution of similar
animals and plants of duration of Miocene. All the principal botanists
you/he/she has been of accord that the north Polar region it was the center from that
plants particular to the Eocene and the epochs of Miocene scattered in
Europe and America.<29 > We can mention that the famous great
trees of the California are simply rests of a growth of wide-expansion
