Washington.--Two hitherto unknown prehistoric monsters, members of the great dinosaur family, who wallowed in the seniitropical swamps of northern Montana over 75,000,000 years ago, have just been described from a collection of fossil bones gathered by a Smithsonian institution expedition. Palaeoscincus rogosldens, the scientific name applied to one of the extinct reptiles, belonged to the armored dinosaur group, and at' the tip of its five-foot tail carried a bone-like- mass weighing 50 pounds. According to the expedition group, the mass might have been used as a weapon, with which to protect the rear from enemy attack, or perhaps to brush aside the huge mosquitoes of an earlier day. Study of the other bones of the b£ast shows, according to Dr. Charles W. Gilmore, curator of vertebrate paleontology, that the tall extremity could not have been used for such a purpose. It was so heavy that the animal could hardly have lifted the tail even with an extreme effort.. The huge ball must have been dragged along the ground much as a convict drags heavy steel ball manacles. Investigators state that the reptile might have become stuck in the mud by his heavy appendage, and unable to work free remained for the Institution to unearth him after ages of waiting. The other animal, Doctor Gilmore says, hail a thick bone plate protection to a one ton mass of slow moving body, and a six-horp skull with the name of styracosaurus ovatus, constitute its claim to the hall of fame. Specimens of closely related species diow that this great creature probably had, in proportion to its weight, the smallest brain of any animal ihat ever lived on land. ' The enormous skull, six feet long, contains a space for nerve tissue only about the size of a man's list. To imagine a Texas horned toad magnified 100 times, Doctor Gilmore says, would perhaps present a picture of the elephantine monsters that trampled the foliage laden mud of Montana in the days of the great dinosaurs. Formidable and ferocious as the animals appear, their food consisted of Dr. A. L Froehlkh was a Chicago visitor Tuesday. Mrs. Louis McDonald was an Elgia visitor Tuesday.
