cannot determine lust just what nhat we ve havo accomplished until we return horn homo 0 and work ork over our rinds finds wo we found wyoming liC peculiar not tor for the scarcity of fossil reptiles hut but for their great aburdan cc ce we discovered c 0 about miles of outcrop of d dinosaur beds hundreds of 0 geologists might spend it a million years yeara working there ther and riot not exhaust those vast beds bed we camo nearer to finding complete individual skeletons bt 61 dinosaurs than any previous exploring party we have hava probably found some new specimens but ve joe cannot be sure of that until we h have ex examined them m further ELEPHANTS hiir SIZE OF MICE our most interesting finds wet 0 near aurora about biety tive five miles from medicine dow bow one peculiar tact fact wo we noted was that while some of these reptiles in beds above the aumic Juni were more than feet in length the ancestors of the elephant and other large mammals found in these rocks were no larger than mice we found fossil remains of oc luxuriant tropical legeta ta tion lion all through the country we explored the insult of 0 our researches vill mill be published la in tile tho scientific journals
