Good night, darling; take that kiss to your respected mother, and tell her with my compliments that we can’t afford to make ducks and drakes of the romance of our little pet’s life: she will hatch those birds for herself in due time, and remain cluck-clucking, wisely, but sadly, like a perplexed old hen, when her ducklings and drakelings have unexpectedly taken the water.

1858, “Edith Clarel: A Story from Three Points of View”, in The Money Bag: Literature, Politics, Finance, volume I, number 4, London: Daniel F. Oakey, […], page 232:

Referring to Table 1 it will be seen that if a breeding duck produces 40 marketable progeny each year (and in practice this should be achieved) half of which are ducklings and the other half drakelings, and these birds realise 2s. per lb. live weight, then that breeding duck would return approximately £15 10s. over feeding costs for the 12 months.

1951, Supplement to the Journal of the Department of Agriculture of Western Australia, volume 28, page 216:

The Death Adder is extremely sluggish in its habits, and rarely moves out of the way of persons approaching it; I am therefore inclined to think, that the original popular name assigned to this reptile, must have been Deaf Adder, instead of the Death Adder.

1845, Clement Hodgkinson, Australia, from Port Macquarie to Moreton Bay, London: T. and W. Boone, page 212:

Another friend on a cruise, put his saddle down for a pillow at night as usual, and on lifting up the saddle-flaps the next morning, he observed a beastly deaf adder lying flat down.

1853, Ellen Clacy, A Lady’s Visit to the Gold Diggings of Australia, in 1852–53, London: Hurst and Blackett, page 250:

No. 1 is in the Stone age, the time when man went around dressed in a bearskin and threw rocks at prehistoric monsters called Ankylosauri, Gorgosauri or Triceratops.

1930 April 22, Murray, “Ruth Throughout the Ages”, in The Evening Star, number 31,402, Washington, D.C., page C—1, columns 3–4:

The Gorgosaurus is notable for its ability to maintain a high speed chase for some distance, unlike the Tyrannosaurus or Allosaurus. Also, it can bound for its full length in an attack leap! Like Allosaurus, Gorgosaurus is terribly jealous of its territory, but it will permit a female to range in its territory and often forms a mated pair hunting team for the spring and summer. Typical ranges are the same as that of the Allosaurus, but Gorgosauri will also enter swamps, sticking to the shallows and to the dry land of the mounds dotting swamps.

1979, Wes Ives, Edward E. Simbalist, Saurians (Chivalry & Sorcery), Jericho, N.Y.: Fantasy Games Unlimited; republished in Red Book, 5th edition, 2013, page 59, column 1:

Having seen how quickly and savagely the gorgosauri and the allosaurus had devastated the exploration team, Ian and Rebecca had a fearful respect for the meat-eating species.

1981, Analog Science Fiction and Fact, page 127, column 1:

Gorgosauri are carnivores, usually hungry, and may attack anything encountered unless they have just eaten a very large meal.

1987, Rudy Kraft, Paul Jaquays, Greg Stafford, Sandy Petersen, Griffin Island (RuneQuest), 3rd edition, 5th volume, Eastwood, Notts.: Games Workshop Ltd, →ISBN, page 15, column 1:

Henry Beissel asks in “First Canto: Landscape,” “What artist dare raise his vision from the dead/centre of creation against this dinosaur indifference?” (CN, 7). Mention of dinosaurs, pterodactyls and gorgosauruses in particular, recurs in the Tenth and Eleventh Cantos as part of his geological imagery (CN, 45-55).

1987, Valerie Broege, “Puer Country: Imaging Canada and Its American Shadow”, in Spring: An Annual of Archetypal Psychology and Jungian Thought, Dallas, Tex.: Spring Publications, Inc., →ISBN, →ISSN, page 22:

Hadrosaurs — duck-billed, plant-eating creatures weighing up to 3,600 kilograms — were the most common dinosaurs in what is now the park. The shallow water at the sea’s edge suited their partially webbed feet and provided vegetation for their diet. The water also served as a refuge from the giant meat-eating gorgosauruses that preyed on them.

1995, The Beauty and Splendor of North America: Scenic Treasures of Canada and the USA, Montreal, Que.: The Reader’s Digest Association Canada Ltd., →ISBN, page 18:

In this context, the figments of Lesje’s imagination — the visions of gorgosauruses, pterodactyls, and iguanodons — function at the point of suture as the seamlike line of junction between her Imaginary existence and a symbolic one.

1996, Sonia Mycak, In Search of the Split Subject: Psychoanalysis, Phenomenology, and the Novels of Margaret Atwood, Toronto, Ont.: ECW Press, →ISBN, page 128:

I think you have just killed three Gorgosauri or Gorgasaurus,^([sic]) whichever is grammatically correct. They are like us, misplaced in time. We saw one on the disk Fanny made with the first exploration ship. We were afraid they would come over the wall one day. They should have been extinct sixty-five million years ago.

2005, Belle Smith, chapter 25, in Lucian’s Place, Baltimore, Md.: PublishAmerica, LLLP, →ISBN, pages 311–312:

In 1997, the amateur fossil hunters Cliff and Sandy Linster, digging near Chorteau, Montana, unearthed the skeleton of a dinosaur – a 72-million-year-old female gorgosaurus. Gorgosauruses are not particularly rare, but this one had an interesting quirk. Rattling around inside its skull was a bone ball. It was an extraskeletal osteosarcoma – a bone tumour – which would have encroached on its cerebellum and its brainstem.

2009, Charles Foster, “Who’s Right? Evidence and the Lack of It”, in The Selfless Gene: Living with God and Darwin, London: Hodder & Stoughton, →ISBN, page 79:

A tyrannosaurid theropod dinosaur of the genus Gorgosaurus that lived in western North America during the Late Cretaceous Period (Campanian), between about 76.6 and 75.1 million years ago.
