Kindle Special Edition: Dinosaurs with illustrations, and Annotated Biography of William Diller Matthew - With Special Reference to the American Museum CollectionsThis volume is in large part a reprint of various popular descriptions and notices in the American Museum Journal and elsewhere by Professor Henry Fairfield Osborn, Mr. Barnum Brown, and the writer. There has been a considerable demand for these articles which are now mostly out of print. In reprinting it seemed best to combine and supplement them so as to make a consecutive and intelligible account of the Dinosaur collections in the Museum. The original notices are quoted verbatim; for the remainder of the text the present writer is responsible. Professor S.W. Williston of Chicago University has kindly contributed a chapter--all too brief--describing the first discoveries of dinosaurs in the Western formations that have since yielded so large a harvest.Enjoy Enjoy!TABLE OF CONTENTS PREFACECHAPTER I THE AGE OF REPTILES - ITS ANTIQUITY, DURATION AND SIGNIFICANCE IN GEOLOGIC HISTORYCHAPTER II NORTH AMERICA IN THE AGE OF REPTILES - ITS GEOGRAPHIC AND CLIMATIC CHANGESCHAPTER III KINDS OF DINOSAURS - COMMON CHARACTERS AND DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE VARIOUS GROUPSCHAPTER IV THE CARNIVOROUS DINOSAURS, ALLOSAURUS, TYRANNOSAURUS, ORNITHOLESTES - SUB-ORDER THEROPODA.CHAPTER V THE AMPHIBIOUS DINOSAURS, BRONTOSAURUS, DIPLODOCUS - SUB-ORDER OPISTHOCOELIA (CETIOSAURIA OR SAUROPODA)CHAPTER VI THE BEAKED DINOSAURS - ORDER ORTHOPODA (ORNITHISCHIA OR PREDENTATA)CHAPTER VII THE BEAKED DINOSAURS - THE DUCK BILLED DINOSAURS, TRACHODON, SAUROLOPHUSCHAPTER VIII THE BEAKED DINOSAURS -- THE ARMORED DINOSAURS--STEGOSAURUS, ANKYLOSAURUSCHAPTER IX THE BEAKED DINOSAURS - THE HORNED DINOSAURS, TRICERATOPSCHAPTER X GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION OF DINOSAURSCHAPTER XI COLLECTING DINOSAURS - HOW AND WHERE THEY ARE FOUNDREFERENCES
