Abstract

THE above letter from Mr. F. A. Lucas shows that my apologies are due to the author of “Extinct Monsters and Creatures of Other Days.” It is Marsh's restoration of Stegosaurus with a single row of dorsal plates that is incorrect, as was pointed out in a notice of Dr. Lull's restoration in the American Journal of Science for March, 1910, in NATURE for the present year. In writing the review of Mr. Hutchinson's volume I must have trusted to memory, which played me false.
