About this Item

pp479-492, plus eight plates, drawings. Removed from ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF REGENTS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION FOR THE YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 1900. Faint dampstaining on several pages at the margins, not affecting text or image, else G. In plastic report covers. A short history of the attempt to portray accurately the long extinct animals and the question of whether they have been depicted true to life. I saw an article just recently on this very subject, which stated that certain features of dinosaurs, for example, have had to be changed from time to time, as we have learned more about what they actually looked like.
