In the last memoir which I had the honour of placing before the Royal Society, allusion was made to the discovery of some remains of the Iguanodon that tended to elucidate the structure of certain parts of the skeleton of that gigantic terrestrial animal, which from the imperfect data previously obtained, had not been satisfactorily determined. I now beg to submit to the consideration of the Society the results of a careful examination of these fossils, and of other illustrative specimens in the collections of my friends, in the hope that this addition to the previously recorded knowledge of the osteology of the Wealden Reptiles, will be found to possess considerable physiological interest and importance.
