poplars, willows, elms and ashes. As this was growing to the
height Of approximately twenty-three one hundred feet in Cantal Francia, it
it probably represents the vegetation of Britain and Northerner
Germany. Finally, the vegetation of Central and Southern France,
as Northern Italy, was intermediary in character among
the evergreen and luxuriant forests of the Miocene Age and that time
growing there. The tropical character of the vegetation was
evidently passing away. The climate on a great part of Europe
now it was moderate, although probably more heat that currently.<55>
In the Mammalia we have to observe the disappearance of some
kind and the arrival and expansion of some others. The monkeys
way of living as far north like Germany in the age of Miocene was
tightened to Southern France and Italy in the Pliocene, and, to
his/her closing, enfeebled together from Europe. The first living
kind of mammals is found in the rests of the hippo
that frequented the rivers of the times of Pliocene. The mastodon of
Miocene anchors it calculates you/he/she would be seen, but together with him it was a
kind of true elephants. The hipparions survived in this
epoch but the horse ago also his/her aspect. Quantity Gran
of buck erred on the earth; and, as you/he/she would be waited where
they was so abundant, the carnivorous animals allied the
bears and wolves, panthers, linxes and tigers, had also to be
funds. "At night", it says the Mr. Dawkins, "the Pliocene forests of
Central France echoed with the strange laughter of the hyena."
The gradual diminution of the climate has also shown from the rests
of the molluscs deposited in beds of the sea or maritime formation
during different eras of this age. That the first is found
the bed, the most southern molluscs are found in him. This show
us that, all through the age of Pliocene, the waters of the seas
Surrounding England is gradually refrigerant increasing, this way
forcing the retreat of those molluscs been only all right for a heat
climate, and allowing a gradual increase in those kinds was all right
for cold or northern latitudes. We also find, in deposits facts
