It seems almost certain that the detached tooth described as 

 Hoplosaurus armatus, and the cervical and dorsal vertebra? and 

 pelvis, described under the names of Ornithopsis Hulkei and 

 0. eucanyierotus, are referable to the same form. The head in 

 Bro7itosaurus, with which genus Ornitlwpsis has been compared, 

 svas very diminutive in comparison with the size of its huge 

 vertebra? and limb-bones (see Fig. 13).

Pelorosaurus, another large land Saurian of the Wealden 

 period, is referred to this sub-order. It probably exceeded in 

 size the largest Iguanodons, and is represented in the Collection 

 by the humerus, which is 52 inches in length. 



Another humerus noticed above (p. 10) as having been 

 referred to Getiosaurus hjimerocristatus, by Hulke, probably 

 belongs to this same genus. An imperfect vertebra from the 

 Oxford Clay, near Peterboixjugh, also may be referred to another 

 species of this genus, and is remarkable for its large size. 



In the Southern hemisphere these gigantic Dinosaurs were 

 also found. In the same case are exhibited vertebra? and portions 

 of limb-bones of an enormous species, Botliriospondylus viada-
