[W] There are Ornithosaurians hereafter to be described compared with which the largest at present known will seem diminutive. A vertebra of one such, from the Wealden, is contained in the British Museum (numbered 28632). The centrum alone is between 9 and 10 inches long and 8 inches deep. It is named Streptospondylus, but constitutes a new group of Ornithosaurians. Nothing so gigantic exists in the Woodwardian Museum. Another vertebra of the same or an allied genus has been figured by Prof. Owen as the tympanic bone of ?Iguonodon (Fossil Reptilia of the Wealden, Part 2, pl. 10).
In the species Ornithocheirus nasutus (Seeley), J.c.2.11.1:
The premaxillary extends for 6 inches without reaching the nares.
The lower jaw is 3/4 of an inch deep at the articulation.
The four cervical vertebræ are each 11/2 inch long.
The sternum measures 11/2 inch over the facets for the coracoids.
The humerus is 21/16 inches over the proximal end, the radial crest not being preserved.
The coracoid is 11/4 inch over the proximal end.
The scapula is about 31/2 inches long.
The proximal carpal (imperfect) is 15/8 inch wide.
