ME. E. LYDEKKER ON DINOSAURS OF THE WEALDEN 



a distance of some 180 yards to the eastward of the spot where 

 the other specimens had been discovered in 1884. On putting 

 this new specimen in its proper relative position to the metatarsal 

 (No. E. 604 d)^ there can be no question but that the two belong 

 to the left foot of the same individual, the new specimen being the 

 second metatarsal. In woodcut fig. 4 these two metatarsals are 

 represented in their approximate relative positions. 



Pig. 4. — The second and fourth Left Metatarsals of Megalosaurus 

 Dunkeri ; from the Wadhurst Clay, near Hastings. (About ^ 

 nat. size.) 



Placed in apposition with the metatarsus No. 2559, it is at once 

 apparent that the Hollington si)ecimens are specifically distinct from 

 the former ; and they further show that the former belongs to the 

 right side, and not to the left as in Owen's figure. This is proved 

 by the circumstance that in this group it is always the second meta- 

 tarsal that is longer than the fourth, and it is evident that in 

 No. 2559 the imperfect metatarsal marked II. in Owen's figure 

 would when complete have been longer than the one marked IV.
