I.—Note on the Reconstruction of Iguanodon in the British Museum (Natural History), Cromwell Road

By the kind assistance of Monsieur E. Dupont, the Director of the Royal Museum of Natural History in Brussels, a coloured reproduction of the entire skeleton of Iguanodon Bernissartensis has lately been acquired for the British Museum (Natural History), and may now be seen admirably set up in the Reptile Gallery of the Geological Department.

Note on a new Wealden Iguanodont and other Dinosaurs

Dawson, F.G.S., of St. Leonards, from the Wadhurst Clay (one of the beds of the Hastings Sand, or lower division of the Wealden), and recently acquired by the British Museum; and also a maxilla from the Wealden of the Isle of Wight, apparently referable to Ornithopsis . Having, however, recently examined the whole of the collection of Dinosaurian remains preserved in the Museum, in the course of the preparation of the first part of the forthcoming ‘Catalogue of Fossil Reptilia’ of the collection, I have also made certain observations regarding other members of the order, which may be conveniently recorded at the same time. Iguanodonts .—Commencing with the Iguanodonts, I may first of all observe that I fully concur in the view which M. Dollo informs me he now takes as to the specific identity of Iguanodon bernissartensis and I. Seelyi ; and, although the original description is very meagre and unaccompanied by a figure, I think we ought to adopt the former and earlier name for the species which has been so well described by the Belgian naturalist. The British Museum possesses a considerable series of the remains of this species, many of which were referred by Sir R. Owen to Cetiosaurus and Pelorosaurus , while others have been described under the name of Iguanodon Mantelli . In addition to the two Wealden species of Iguanodon ( I.
