A total of 34 specimens was transferred from the Hayashibara
Museum of Natural Sciences (HMNS) to the Fukui Prefectural
Dinosaur Museum (FPDM) following the closure of HMNS in
2015. The specimens with newly assigned specimen numbers ascollections of FPDM are reported in Tables 1 and 2. It is notedthat the holotype of Hesperosaurus mjosi Carpenter, Miles andCloward 2001 (FPDM-V9674) is included in the specimens.
