Among the many wonderful creatures flying through the air in those days when there were no people in the world were the reptiles called Pterodactyls. The outspread wings of the largest of these monsters measured twenty feet from tip to tip. No animal has ever flown through the air since man lived on earth which could compare with this in size.

What a scene it must have been upon which these mighty rulers looked down as they flew hither and thither! Great stretches of water, in which swam sea serpents and other astonishing forms; swampy expanses of land, over which dinosaurs walked by the thousands and gigantic crocodiles and tortoises crawled. And amid all this teeming life there was not one human being.
