Excerpt from Glimpses of Florida, Ancient, Colonial and ModernShould the reader question the writer's conservative estimate of the antiquity of Florida, he points to the fact that Professor Cope of Philadelphia has a creature which all naturalists are unanimous in pronouncing the first representative of the hoofed animal species. The animal is not alive, neither is it entire, so far as ¿esh and blood are concerned, but to the paleontologist, who cares only for the fos siled bones, the specimen is perfect. It is not larger than a yearling calf and not nearly so tall, and was found in the Wind River country in Wyoming. Professor Cope named it Pkwacoa'us Pn'maevus when it was first discovered, giving It as his opinion that it was akin to a specimen which was found several years ago in France (the paleothe rium), and which gave Cuvier and the other naturalists so much trouble to classify.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
