were created only a day" or two
before Adam, and were then led
to him to be named, really had
existed tens of millions of years
before the first man baby cried
out his establishment at being
born.
The Primates, the order to
which man belongs, came very
late, only beginning their devel.
opment in their higher forms
after the last period, the Quater.

The Tertiary, the period be-
gan about 100000 years ago,
and that only within two or three
hundred thousand years, lnclud-
ing the close of the Tertiary and
the Quaternary up to date, have
the Primates, which include the
anthropoid apes, been in exist
ence.
The fishes began the latter part
of the Ordovician period, became
more and more abundant in the
Silurian, and attained their maxi.
mum in the Devonian, after which
they relatively receded in impor-
lance until recent times. The
Batrachians began in the lower
Carboniferous, or Coal, period, de-
veloped rapidly and as rapidly fell
off at the end of the upper Car
boniferous.
Then came the reptiles, starting
in the upper Carboniferous, AMI
attaining their zenith in the Juras.
sic or Cretaceous. The birds, de-
rived from reptiles, had their start
in the Jurassic and early Creta-
ceous. The mammals set forth
Internationally at the end of thu
Triassic and had a relatively sud-
den and enormous development
during the Tertiary. Then, as al.
ready mentioned, came the Pri'
mates, the highest branch OF all,
taking the last place in the order
Of development and Of time.
