Leidy describes one, Discosaur (Elas- mosaur, of Cope), which was fifty feet long, with a neck of sixty vertebrae and twenty-two feet long. Among Dinosaurs the Hadrosaur from Xew Jer- sey was twenty-eight feet long; and, judg- ing from the huge size of its hind-legs and massiveness of its hips and small size of its fore-legs, it seems to have been able to stand and walk in the manner of birds (Fig. 813). This animal was a vegeta- ble feeder, with teeth somewhat like those of the Iguanodon, but set in sev- eral rows, so as to form a kind of tes- sellated pavement (Fig. 811). From the same locality the Dryptosaurus (Lcelaps), similar to the Megalo- saur, and twenty-four feet long, and the Omitliotarsus (bird- â shank), thirty-five feet long, stood twelve to fifteen feet high when walking on their hind-legs. Among Pterosaurs, Marsh has found in the "Western Cretaceous the remains of at least seven species, two of.
