A belated reply to RaptorRKC@aol.com (Digest 794 of 7 Jan 1996):

24) polyzelus:  Greek poly'ze:los = much admired; full of emulation
56) Cionodon:   Greek kio:n = pillar; odous (Ionic dialect odo:n)
                        = tooth
76) Dysalotosaurus:  Greek dysa'lo:tos = hard to catch
94) Halticosaurus:   Greek haltikos = good at leaping
97) Hylaeosaurus:    Greek hylaios = belonging to the forest

A colon (:) after a vowel means it is long (o: = omega; e: = eta).
