The Right /Sccqwla (Plate XLIV, figure 1). — The right scapula is 

 well preserved and shows one very interesting feature. Near the 

 lower edge of the blade is an elongate elliptical hole, S""" in length, 

 with smooth edges, indicating that the animal received a severe 

 injury during life and conipletelj^ recovered from it before death. 

 It is, of course, idle to speculate on the character of this accident, 

 yet the presence in the same beds of numerous remains of the 

 armored and horned Triceratops suggests that there may have been 

 an encounter between this Claosaurus and one of the individuals of 

 the Ceratopsidae. The injurj^ to the scapula is just such a one as 

 could be made hy a thrust of one of the horns of Triceratops.
