mond-shaped with rounded angles and the interspaces filled with 

 quite small plates of various forms to completely fill them. I shall 

 await with great interest Doctor Weiland's paper describing this 

 remarkable dinosaur, and I am glad that another land dinosaur was 

 carried into the Cretaceous Ocean of Western Kansas. The other 

 one was found about forty years ago, and described by the late 

 Professor Marsh as a form of ITadrasaurus, or like the duck-bill 

 my party found last season in Wyoming, in the Laramie Beds of 

 Converse county. Strange, indeed, then, that we find enough of a 

 dinosaur, separated by some 10,000 feet of strata, millions of years 

 of time and a thousand miles of space, and that way down in the 

 Kansas Chalk ; and lying stranded on a knoll of chalk, exposed to 

 the disintegrating influences of the weather, is the specimen that 

 will enable (in connection with the Barnum Brown specimen) 

 science to correctly restore one of the rare ancient inhabitants of 

 our continent.
