CHAPTER XVIII. 

 THE EOCENE PERIOD. 



Before commencing the study of the subdivisions of the 

 Kainozoic series, there are some general considerations to be 

 noted. In the first place, there is in the Old World a com- 

 plete and entire physical break between the rocks of the 

 Mesozoic and Kainozoic periods. In no instance in Europe 

 are Tertiary strata to be found resting conformably upon any 

 Secondary rock. The Chalk has invariably suffered much 

 erosion and denudation before the lowest Tertiary strata were 

 deposited upon it. This is shown by the fact that the actually
