Great Horned Reptiles.

Those who have seen a skeleton OF
the great extinct reptile Triceratops
the dinosaur ("terriblc lizard')
with the "three horned face"-or,
better still, good restoration of the
animal as 1t was in life, or a vivid
picture such as the painting by G. r
Knight, now in the National Museum
at Washington, have undoubtedly
marveled at the huge, unwieldy bulk
Of the creature, its massive limbs,
ponderous body, and particularly Its
enormous skull with two stout curved
brow horns, rhlDoceros- like nasal
horn, parrot heaked jaws, and great
spread of bony cape over the neck and
shoulders Triceratops reached
| length of over 20 feet, and its skull
from the tip of its beaked NV to the
edge of its frill, as theNbony cape is
| is technically named, was as much as
s feet long. Yet 1t was probably a
sluggish, stupAd creature with in :
telligence of very low order. for It's
brain, in proportion to is skull, was
among the smallest known in back
! boned animals.
Other horned dinosaurs that were
quite as large and peculiar lived dur
ing the same period. One of these
| (Diceratops) lacked the nasal horn
but was otherwise much like Tricera-
tops. Another large form (Torosaur
us) had a thinner frill with two large
openings through the bone, though
these were concealed in life by mus
cular tissue and skin.
