that there is a way up. We know
equally that it must be very diff
cult one: otherwise the creatures
would have come down and overrun
the surrounding country. Surely that
is clear
But how did they come to be there?"
Il do not think that the problem is u
very obscure one" said the professor.
There can only be one explanation.
South America Is, as you may have
heard. granite continent. At this
single point in the interior there has
been. in some far distant age. a great
sudden volcanic upheaval. These cliffs,
| may remark, are basaltic and there
fore plutonic. An area as large per-
haps as Sussex has been lifted up en-
bloc with all its living contents and
cut Off by perpendicular precipices of
a hardness which defies erosion from
all the rest of the continent. What is
the result? Why, the ordinary laws of
nature are suspended. The various
checks which influence the struggle
for existence in the world at large are
all neutraliZed or altered. Creatures
survive which would otherwise disap-
pear. You will observe that both the
pterodactyl and the stegosaurus are
jurassic and therefore of a great age
In the order of life. They have been
artifcially conserved by those strange
accidental conditions
