Cuvier used to urge that no monkey occurred in any tertiary stratum; but now extinct species have been discovered in India, South America and in Europe, as far back as the miocene stage.

居维叶曾经敦促任何第三层都没有猴子出现；但现在已经在印度、 南美洲和欧洲发现了灭绝的物种， 早在中新世阶段。

而且，好像为了使这个案例尽可能引人注目，这种花螈是 Chthamalus，一种非常常见的、大且普遍存在的属，即使在任何第三层中也没有一个物种被发现.
