In
refusing
to
commit
yourself
you
are
but
showing
a
proper
scientific
reserve
,
"
said
Challenger
,
with
massive
condescension
.
"
I
am
not
myself
prepared
to
go
farther
than
to
say
in
general
terms
that
we
have
almost
certainly
been
in
contact
to-night
with
some
form
of
carnivorous
dinosaur
.
I
have
already
expressed
my
anticipation
that
something
of
the
sort
might
exist
upon
this
plateau
.
"
"
We
have
to
bear
in
mind
,
"
remarked
Summerlee
,
"
that
there
are
many
prehistoric
forms
which
have
never
come
down
to
us
.
It
would
be
rash
to
suppose
that
we
can
give
a
name
to
all
that
we
are
likely
to
meet
.
"
"
Exactly
.
A
rough
classification
may
be
the
best
that
we
can
attempt
.
To-morrow
some
further
evidence
may
help
us
to
an
identification
.
Meantime
we
can
only
renew
our
interrupted
slumbers
.
"
"
But
not
without
a
sentinel
,
"
said
Lord
John
,
with
decision
.
"
We
ca
n't
afford
to
take
chances
in
a
country
like
this
.
Two-hour
spells
in
the
future
,
for
each
of
us
.
"
"
Then
I
'll
just
finish
my
pipe
in
starting
the
first
one
,
"
said
Professor
Summerlee
;
and
from
that
time
onwards
we
never
trusted
ourselves
again
without
a
watchman
.
In
the
morning
it
was
not
long
before
we
discovered
the
source
of
the
hideous
uproar
which
had
aroused
us
in
the
night
.
The
iguanodon
glade
was
the
scene
of
a
horrible
butchery
.
From
the
pools
of
blood
and
the
enormous
lumps
of
flesh
scattered
in
every
direction
over
the
green
sward
we
imagined
at
first
that
a
number
of
animals
had
been
killed
,
but
on
examining
the
remains
more
closely
we
discovered
that
all
this
carnage
came
from
one
of
these
unwieldy
monsters
,
which
had
been
literally
torn
to
pieces
by
some
creature
not
larger
,
perhaps
,
but
far
more
ferocious
,
than
itself
.
Our
two
professors
sat
in
absorbed
argument
,
examining
piece
after
piece
,
which
showed
the
marks
of
savage
teeth
and
of
enormous
claws
.
"
Our
judgment
must
still
be
in
abeyance
,
"
said
Professor
Challenger
,
with
a
huge
slab
of
whitish-colored
flesh
across
his
knee
.
"
The
indications
would
be
consistent
with
the
presence
of
a
saber-toothed
tiger
,
such
as
are
still
found
among
the
breccia
of
our
caverns
;
but
the
creature
actually
seen
was
undoubtedly
of
a
larger
and
more
reptilian
character
.
Personally
,
I
should
pronounce
for
allosaurus
.
"
"
Or
megalosaurus
,
"
said
Summerlee
.
"
Exactly
.
Any
one
of
the
larger
carnivorous
dinosaurs
would
meet
the
case
.
Among
them
are
to
be
found
all
the
most
terrible
types
of
animal
life
that
have
ever
cursed
the
earth
or
blessed
a
museum
.
"
He
laughed
sonorously
at
his
own
conceit
,
for
,
though
he
had
little
sense
of
humor
,
the
crudest
pleasantry
from
his
own
lips
moved
him
always
to
roars
of
appreciation
.
