xiv The Record of the Rocks 273 



Indian peninsula was still an island, and the Himalayas 

 were beginning to appear. The Western World Ridge was 

 nearer completion, North America was almost all above 

 water, and the line of the Andes was commencing to 

 give outline to South America. By the close of the Ter- 

 tiary period the elevation of the continents had been prac- 

 tically completed.
