The Ornithosauria

Note W — A SUMMING UP.

Reading edition

There are Ornithosaurians hereafter to be described compared with which the largest at present known will seem diminutive. A vertebra of one such, from the Wealden, is contained in the British Museum (numbered 28632). The centrum alone is between 9 and 10 inches long and 8 inches deep. It is named Streptospondylus, but constitutes a new group of Ornithosaurians. Nothing so gigantic exists in the Woodwardian Museum. Another vertebra of the same or an allied genus has been figured by Prof. Owen as the tympanic bone of ?Iguonodon (Fossil Reptilia of the Wealden, Part 2, pl. 10).
