CRETACIC OF ALBERTA. _After Brown_]
These Duck-billed Dinosaurs probably ranged all over North America and
the northerly portions of the Old World during the later Cretacic.
Fragmentary remains have been found in New Jersey and southward along
the Atlantic coast. A partial skeleton was described many years ago by
Leidy under the name of _Hadrosaurus_ and restored and mounted in the
museum of the Philadelphia Academy of Sciences. _Telmatosaurus_ of the
Gosau formation in Austria also belongs to this group, and fragmentary
remains have been found in the upper Cretacic of Belgium, England and
France.

THE BEAKED DINOSAURS (Continued.)
C. THE ARMORED DINOSAURS--STEGOSAURUS, ANKYLOSAURUS.
_Sub-Order Stegosauria._
This group of dinosaurs is most remarkable for the massive bony armor
plates, crests or spines covering the body and tail. They were more or
less completely quadrupedal instead of bipedal, with straight
post-like limbs and short rounded hoofed feet adapted to support the
weight of the massive body and heavy armature.
