  they 
  now 
  are. 
  It 
  is 
  less 
  probable 
  that 
  the 
  

   small 
  streams 
  which 
  now 
  exist 
  in 
  England 
  

   should 
  have 
  harboured 
  herds 
  of 
  Hippopotami. 
  

   But 
  the 
  position 
  in 
  which 
  the 
  remains 
  of 
  

   these 
  great 
  animals 
  are 
  found 
  indicates 
  that 
  

   since 
  they 
  flourished 
  there 
  have 
  been 
  con- 
  

   siderable 
  changes 
  in 
  physical 
  geography. 
  It 
  

   indicates, 
  too, 
  that 
  a 
  great 
  change 
  of 
  climate 
  

   has 
  accompanied 
  certain 
  changes 
  in 
  the 
  con- 
  

   figuration 
  of 
  land 
  and 
  sea. 
  I 
  know 
  no 
  better 
  

   example 
  of 
  the 
  evidence 
  to 
  this 
  effect 
  than 
  

   one 
  which 
  is 
  very 
  easily 
  accessible 
  in 
  our 
  own 
  

   country. 
  We 
  have 
  only 
  to 
  go 
  down 
  to 
  the 
  

   pleasant 
  shores 
  of 
  Devon, 
  and 
  to 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  

   pleasantest 
  spots 
  upon 
  those 
  shores 
  — 
  the 
  

   south-western 
  promontory 
  of 
  Torbay.
