its natural condition, not flattened or otherwise 

 injured by pressure, as is usually the case. We 

 think the skeleton over thirty feet in length, we 

 secured much of the skin impression with it, 

 showing a different pattern from the other 

 known forms. Mr. Lambe calls it Gryposaurus : 

 the high nosed lizard. It will take months of

 Canada, page 293: "The principal field work 

 consisted of an expedition to the Red Deer River,

 (horned dinosaurs, quadrupedal, plant eat-
