The last three in the list have beenrestored only by means of drawings. Hadrosaurus was modelled by Waterhouse Hawkins to repi-esentboth the skeleton and the animal in the flesh. Owing to theextremely fragmentary remains upon which this restoration wasbased it was necessarily very faulty and has long since ceased tohave any value or interest except as a historical attempt.

Hawkins also restored the Iguanodon, from material in the Englishmuseums. The later discovery of a number of quite complete skele-tons of this genus in Belgium, and their careful analysis by Dollo/led to a subsequent successful restoration in a superb manner byDe Pauw (figure 3).
