So far as now determined they appear to be nearly allied to Megalosaurus of Europe and include Allosaurus from the Jurassic of this country. Kemains of the genus Dryptosaurus (Laelaps) have been found at various localities on the Atlantic Coast, especially iu the marl region of New Jersey. Many of these fossils have been described by Prof. Cope.1 ORNITHOMIiflD.E. This family can be separated sharply from all other dinosaurs by the hind feet, which contain three functional metatarsals, the middle one, or third, of which has its proximal end much diminished in size and crowded backward behind the second and fourth, as in many existing birds.

The most marked characters of the genus Ornithomimus already determined are manifest in the limbs and feet, and these have been selected for description in the present article. A typical example is shown on PI. LVIII, figs. 1-4, which is the type specimen, the species being Ornithomimus velox Marsh.
