Extract

Since the Omosaurus of the Kimeridge Clay may still be regarded as the only well-known European representative of the Stegosauridæ, it seemed advisable, after discussing in previous papers the Ornithopodous Hypsilophodon and the Acanthopholidid Polacanthus, to examine a representative of this type. I am therefore greatly indebted to Dr. A. S. Woodward for permitting me to do so at the Natural History Museum, and also for putting at my disposal a magnificent hitherto undescribed Stegosaurian discovered by Mr. Alfred Leeds, F.G.S., in the Oxford Clay of Fletton, near Peterborough.
