TitlePaper, 'Notice of portions of the skeleton of the trunk and limbs of the great horned saurian of Australia (Megalania prisca, Ow.)' by Richard Owen
Date1882
DescriptionOwen writes: 'Former communications on the subject, admitted into the “Philosophical Transactions,” related to the skull and terminal caudal vertebræ, from a river-bed at Toowoomba, Queensland [Australia]; and in the discussion on those papers, a doubt was expressed whether they had been correctly referred to the genus and species founded upon trunk-vertebrae from other and remote localities, which had been the subject of a former paper, communicated to the Royal Society June 17th, 1858, and published in the volume of the “Transactions,” 1858, p. 48, Plates VII and VIII.'
