About that time, however, the represen tatives of the llamas wandered over the newly emerged Isthmus of Panama to South America, where they have since flourished; while the true camels by some means reached Asia, as proved by numerous remains from the Siwalik Formation of India in Pier-case 14. The giraffes, or Giraffidse, have always been Old World quadrupeds. Though now confined to Africa, they also ranged over the greater part of Asia and southern Europe in the Lower Pliocene period, as shown by fossils from China, India, and Greece in Pier-case 14. Even the long-limbed and long-necked Giraffa itself was in existence at that time, but it seems to have been less common than the antelope-shaped relatives of the okapi, which has only escaped extinction by retreating to the recesses of the Semliki forest. Samotherium, with a pair of horns only in the male (Fig. 27), is known by Fig. 27.--Skull and lower jaw of an extinct Okapi (Samotherium boissieri), from the Lower Pliocene of the Isle of Samoa; one-sixth nat. size. (Case M.) many remains from the Lower Pliocene of Pikermi (Greece), the Isle of Samos, and Maragha (Persia), and it is scarcely distinguishable from the okapi. The original skull of this animal, described by Dr. Forsyth Major, is exhibited in a special Case marked M. Helladotherium is a larger and stouter relative, of which the female at least is hornless, represented by numerous fragments from Pikermi. Sivatherium, from the Siwalik Formation of India, is equally stout, and the male bears two pairs of horns, one simple pair being on the frontal bones, a large expanded pair further back (Fig. 28). The actual skull, detached horn-cores, limb-bones, and other remains of this...

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself.

We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
