The remains on which this species was established (number 1452) were 

 found in May, 1876, by Mr. H. A. Brous, in Wallace County, Kansas. 

 A second specimen (number 1733) was found in 1877 by Mi - . F. H. Wil- 

 liston, on Hackberry Creek, in Gove County, near the Smoky Hill River. 

 More than forty other specimens have since been obtained in the same 

 region by Messrs. S. W. Williston, E. W. Guild, and other members of 

 the writer's parties. All these specimens are apparently from the same 

 geological horizon in the middle Cretaceous. 



All the specimens of this species at present known are preserved in 

 the Museum of Yale Colleg*e.
