Attached to the vertebrae were eight ribs  of enormous size, measuring three or  four feet in length, some of them a  foot or so in width. ' There has teen  no time for further investigation, but  three of the fossilized bones have  been  brought in by  the discoverer.  They are all broken but can be easily fitted  together.    As to what por- ,  tion of the body ot the animal   they |  are. from is merely  conjecture. Judging  from     appearance, one which  is  broken  into three pieces is probably  a section      of the  tail,   it is about  ten   inches   in   diameter  and  four   inches  long.   Through the centre is an  opening which possLbly contained tffff  spinal  cord.
