Upon the whole, therefore, there is reason
to conclude that Australia has undergone since the close of the
Jurassic period fewer changes and vicissitudes than any other
known region of the globe; and that this wonderful continent
has therefore succeeded in preserving a greater number of the
characteristic life-features of the Oolites than any other country
with which we are acquainted.
