First sentence: Palaeontologists are enabled by the study of a fossil bone or two of some by-gone extinct monster to construct for us the creature again with a considerable amount of certainty, and though thousands and tens of thousands of years have passed, or even millions possibly, since this extinct old-world animal roamed on our earth, we, the present denizens of his erewhile happy hunting grounds, are able to picture him in our mind's eye, to get some notion of his form and structure, of his surroundings, and even of his brain-power: so wonderful is the science of palaeontology.
