问题    That large animals require a luxuriant vegetation, has been a general
   assumption which has passed from one work to another: but I do not
   hesitate to say that it is completely true, and that it has vitiated the 【S1】______
   reasoning of geologists on some points of great interest in the ancient history
   of the world. The prejudice has probably derived from India, and the Indian 【S2】______
   islands, which troops of elephants, noble forests, and impenetrable jungles, 【S3】______
   are associated together in every one’s mind. If, therefore, we refer to any 【S4】______
   work of travels through the southern parts of Africa, we shall find illusions 【S5】______
   in almost every page either to the desert character of the country, nor to the 【S6】______
   numbers of large animals inhabiting it. The same thing is rendered evident
   by the many engravings which have been published of various parts of the
   interior.
   Dr. Andrew Smith, who has lately succeeded in passing the Tropic of
   Capricorn, informs me that, taken into consideration the whole of the 【S7】______
   southern part of Africa, there can be no doubt of its being a sterile country.
   On the southern coasts there are some fine forests, but without these 【S8】______
   exceptions, the traveler may pass for days together through open plains,
   covered by a poor and scanty vegetation. Now, if we look to the animals
   inhabiting this wide plains, we shall find their numbers extraordinarily 【S9】______
   great, and their bulk immense. We must enumerate the elephant, three
   species of rhinoceros, the giraffe, two zebras, two gnus, and several
   antelopes even larger than these latter animals. It may be supposed that even 【S10】______
   although the species are numerous, the individuals of each kind are few.
