CHAPTER IX.

FROM THE LOWER AND SMALL MILK-GIVERS WHICH FIND SAFETY IN CONCEALMENT, TO THE INTELLIGENT APES AND MONKEYS 209

PICTURE-HEADING--Ideal forms of the early Herbivora and Carnivora. In the foreground _Paleotherium_, _Anoplotherium_, and _Eohippus_ (this last only restored conjecturally); in the background, _Xiphodon_ and _Arctocyon_ (this last also only an approximation); on the tree, a small lemur; and in front, a hedgehog.
