INTRODUCTION
TO THE
OSTEOLOGY OF THE ORNITHOSAURIA FROM THE
CAMBRIDGE UPPER GREENSAND.
--------------
Materials.
The Cambridge Upper Greensand has yielded to collectors bones which
illustrate nearly every part of the skeleton of the animals that are
commonly named Pterodactyles. Large collections have been acquired
for the Woodwardian Museum. A series of more than 500 bones have
been arranged to exemplify the osteology and organization of the
Ornithosauria in the area when the Cambridge Greensand was deposited.
And this memoir is written to explain briefly some of the structures
of the soft and hard parts of those animals which are exhibited or
demonstrated by these relics. Another collection of nearly 400 bones
has been arranged, which displays in association, as they were found
entombed in the old Greensand sea-bed, the remains of the skeletons of
thirty-three animals of the Pterodactyle kind. The whole of the remains
from this formation hitherto gathered cannot be computed to have
pertained to fewer than 150 individuals, which indicate a new sub-class
of animals, two new genera and at least twenty-five new species.
