II.—On the Diplodocidæ, a New Family of the Sauropoda; an Order of American Jurassic Dinosaurs2

  • O. C. Marsh (a1)
Extract

The Sauropoda are now generally recognized by anatomists as a well-marked order of the Sub-class Dinosauria. In the previous articles of this series, the main characters of the two families of this order (Atlantosauridæ and Morosauridæ) already named by the writer have been given.3 A third family is represented by the genus Diplodocus, a study of which, more especially of the skull, throws light on the whole group of Dinosaurian reptiles.
