"Iguanodon fittoni n. sp." = Hypselospinus fittoni Lydekker 1889 ornithopod NHMUK R1635, incomplete left ilium, partial sacrum, midcaudal centrum, the eroded proximal end of an ischium (very dubious association). In addition, three isolated teeth (one stump of a dentary crown and two worn and rootless maxillary crowns) have the same registered number and may well have been part of the original accession.H R.1635
