Antediluvian Monsters.

According to the Scientific American of June 15, 1878, there were unearthed in the Rocky Mountains, near Morrison, Bear Creek, Col., the remains of a new and gigantic species of antediluvian animals, the Dinosaur, the largest ever discovered, and the largest known land animal. Arthur Lakes, Professor of Geology at Jarvis Hall, Colorado, by whom they were discovered, estimates the animal when alive to have been fully sixty feet long, and when standing erect on its hind legs, after the custom of Dinosaurs, to feed on the foliage of the mountain forests, to have been eighty-five feet high.
