In the other three specimens, consisting of nearly complete dorsal centra, 

 and measuring about 4^ inches in length, the compression is still greater. 

 In one of the specimens the distal articulation, represented in Fig. 3, is so 

 flattened as to appear transversely lenticular in outline and emarginate above. 

 It measures 30 lines in depth and Q2\ lines in breadth. 



Seven selected specimens consist of caudals which have mostly undergone 

 little or no compression. They all present beneath a pair of strong processes 

 projecting obliquely backward from nearer the- posterior part, and excavated 

 in a conical pit directed backward and downward for articulation with chev- 

 rons. Three have been provided with, strong diapophyses projecting in 

 advance of the middle and nearly half way up the sides. A fourth specimen 

 has a small, narrow diapophysis projecting in advance of the middle and 

 about two-thirds up the sides. The remaining two vertebrae have no dia- 

 pophyses. 



The caudals with diapophyses have the articular ends of the body trans- 

 versely oval, with a slightly hexahedral outline, emarginate above, and in a 

 less degree below. Those without diapophyses have the articular ends of 

 proportionately less width, of less hexahedral outline, and not emarginate 

 below, so that they appear more cordiform than oval. 



The largest caudal with diapophyses has measured as follows :
