EXPLANATIONS OF PLATES. 



Plate XLI. 



Claosaurus annectens Marsh. 



Side view of mounted specimen ; one-fortieth natural size. 



Owing to the impossibility of properly lighting the specimen for photographic 

 purposes, it has been necessary to paint out the background and shadows in 

 the negative. Therefore this illustration merely gives a projection, and does 

 not show the high relief of the specimen. 



Plate XLII. 



Claosaurus annectens Marsh. 



Oblique side view. As in the preceding plate, it was necessary to paint out 

 the background, with the consequent loss of actual relief. 



Plate XLIII. 



Claosaurus annectens Marsh. 



Pelvis and hind limbs, with proximal portion of tail ; one-eighteenth natural 

 size. 



This illustration shows the detail of mounting and the finish of the slab. 

 Plates XLI and XLII should show the same characters of rock surface and the 

 same degree of relief. 



Plate XLIV. 



Claosaurus annectens Marsh. 



Figure 1. — Right scapida ; showing elliptical perforation of blade due to an 



injury received during life ; two-fifteenths natural size. 

 Figure 2. — Anterior portion of skeleton ; showing the fore limbs, shoulder 



girdle, neck, and skull ; one-nineteenth natural size. 



Plate XLV. 



Claosaurus annectens Marsh. 



Line drawing ; showing real and restored parts. 



Original bones are represented by line shading. 



Bones partially restored are represented by dotted line shading. 



Bones wholly restored are represented in outline.
