Abstract
UNDER the above title, an illustrated article, by Mr. R. Lydekker, appears in NATURE, July 27, 1893, p. 302. This purports to give a summary of what has recently been done in restoring certain remarkable forms of extinct reptiles. Most of the statements made are correct, but with them are a number of serious errors that may mislead readers not familiar with the subject. As the restorations given are, with one exception, my own, and represent indirectly several years' work in the field and museum, I trust you will allow me to call attention to some mistakes in this article, which were perhaps made by Mr. Lydekker through inadvertence, or from his not having seen the specimens described.
