THE LITTLE-BRAIXED DIXOCERAS 97 



was crushed to death under one huge foot as easily 

 as a kitten of to-day is crushed by an elephant. 



Yet, strange to say, as the centuries passed, this 

 ancestor of the horse, and others among the small 

 animals, grew bigger and stronger and the Dinoceras 

 became less and less powerful until, at last, this 

 little-brained, big-bodied mammal lived no more on 

 the earth.
