LISK. 65. REMAINS OF THE SKELETON OF A YOUNG IGUANODON, IMBEDDED IN 



A BLOCK OF KKNTISH RAG: FROM NEAR MAIDSTONE. 



(Size of the original, 6 ft. 4 in. by G ft. 2 in.) 



This specimen consists of a considerable portion of the skeleton of a young animal, 

 the bones being disconnected, distorted, and imbedded in the rock in a very confused 

 manner. The following are those I have been able to determine : 



Figs. 1,2. Right and left femur : 33 inches long. 



3. Tibia : 20 inches long. 



4, 4, 4. Metatarsal and phalangeal bones. 



5, 5. Ungual bones. 



6. Two metacarpal bones : 14 inches long. Near these are portions of small 



cylindrical bones, apparently fragments of abdominal costal processes. 



7. Humerus: 20 inches long. 



8* 8* Dorsal vertebrae. The group on the right belongs to the same series as 

 that on the left : the * * point out thHr junction. In my " Wonders 

 of Geology," the true form of the specimen is represented. 

 9. Fragments of Ribs. 

 10,10. Clavicles: 28 inches long. Under the distal end of the lowermost 



clavicle there is a bone not yet made out. 

 11, 11. Iliac bones. 



12. Chevron-bone, or haemapophysis. Beneath this process there is a hatchet- 



shaped bone, which I have not been able to decypher. 



13. A tooth and the imprint of another. Unfortunately lost in removing 



the specimen from Brighton. 

 14, 14. The two corresponding portions of a Scapula. 



15. The distal part of the other Scapula. 

 16,16. Caudal vertebrae. 



* Indicates the cavity left by the bore in which the charge was placed to 

 blast the stone.
