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 Oryposaurus, 

 the high nosed lizard. It will take months of 

 labor to prepare this skeleton. Mr. Lambe in 

 his summary of our work says in the blue book 

 Summary for 1913, of the Geological Survey of 

 Canada, page 293: "The principal field work 

 consisted of an expedition to the Red Deer River,

 but also to the manner in which it was equipped. 

 The party was on Red Deer River from Jun(- 

 20th to October 3. The collection from these 

 rocks, made by the expedition of 1913, reveals in 

 a striking manner the wonderful variety of the 

 dinosaurian life of the period. The field collec- 

 tion of 1913 includes members of the Ceratops 

 (horned dinosaurs, quadrupedal, plant eat- 

 ers), Tmchodontidae (duck-billed dinosaurs, 

 plant eaters), Theropoda (flesh eaters), and 

 Stegosav/ridae, heavily armoured plant eaters), 

 Plesiosaurs, crocodiles, turtles, amphibians, and
