Overview

Excerpt from The Geological Magazine, or Monthly Journal of Geology, Vol. 3: January December, 1896 OR several years I have been engaged in investigating the Dinosaurs of North America, where these extinct reptiles were very abundant during the whole of Mesozoic time. The results of my study have been published from time to time, and I have already had the honour of presenting some of these to the British Association. In carrying out this investigation so as to include the whole group of Dinosaurs, wherever found, and bringing all under one system of classification, it has been necessary for me to study the remains discovered in Europe, and I have made several visits to this country for that purpose. In comparing the forms known from the two continents, certain important differences, as well as some marked resemblances between the two, have been observed, and placed on record. In concluding my investigations of the North American forms, I have fortunately been able to make restorations of the skeletons of quite a number of very complete type specimens, and this has proved a most instructive means of comparing those from different horizons, and of different groups, among the known Dinosauria of America. The success Of this plan rendered it very desirable to extend it, if possible, to the best-known forms of European Dinosaurs. This I have been enabled to do in a few instances, and the main object of the present paper is to lay these latest results before you.
