122 Another Strange Horned Dinosaur 



t 



cakes and baking powder biscuits are the rule 

 generally ; my feet would swell so badly I would 

 often be obliged to crawl on my hands and knees 

 to my tent and cot. There, stretched at fuU 

 length, with lamp above me, I read until bed 

 time, never thinking of getting on my feet until 

 the next day. When I went through the same 

 experience. Charlie, as I said was the lucky one, 

 he found the most complete skull of this strange 

 creature we have ever obtained. The Figure 26, 

 shows it in its rocky sepulcher after it was un- 

 covered ready for wrapping. In order to get to 

 it we were obliged to leave our wagon on the prai- 

 rie, and go down into a coulee some five hundred 

 feet below; cross over, and on a road we made, 

 haul our sled to it a hundred feet above the river. 

 Although the skull is badly injured by pressure, 

 it is so perfect that all the sutures between the 

 bones can be detected, as in the case of the 

 Chasmosaurtis skull, George discovered. 



I was able to completely restore my specimen 

 from Charlie's. So we have now mounted in the 

 Hall of Vertebrates, two skulls. The picture No. 

 27 shows some of the characters quite well. The 

 nasal horn is curved forward, and there are two 

 short horns over the eyes; while in my specimen. 

 Figure 27, there are none. 



I would like to take you to my shop again; 

 where George is at work. He is putting on the 

 steel half ovals, that are to hold up the crest; he 

 is using an electric drill as you notice. Figure
