caters, like the elephant and hoppo-
tamus OF today. They were sluggish
and stupid (as shown by the small
ness of the skull-cavities that held
their brains). and so had no chance
to escape from the incredibly active
and ferocious reptiles which sought
them as prey. But some OF them,
like the brontosaur and diplodocus,
were able 20 seek refuge In the
water, while others were provided
with means of defense in the shape
of impenetrable armor.
We are more or less acquainted

or three feet long. native of Mexico

horn, directed forward, and his nose

modern times we know no carnivor-

and ferocity the flesh-eating lizards
of that distant epoch. Consider.
for example the "tryannosaur," or
tyrant lizard. which was the largest
carnivorous creature that ever lived
on land. 1t was 40 feet long and
when 1t stood erect on its hind legs
