Who ever put this under Zambo needs to stop, its not cool, seriously. Got118115147 00:15, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
I know for sure I have read a comic with pretty much the same plot and title when I was younger. Does anyone know about it? [unsigned]
Before this edit war gets out of hand, I demand to see your evidence for the placing of the T-Rex in the 1925 film version of the Lost World. Ther was a "T-Rex" in the Irwin Allen version (played by a nile monitor with horns) and tyranosaur-like carnosaurs in the 1992 film. But there are NONE in any version of the 1925 film that I have seen--and I own two. -- Majin Gojira 00:51, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
I've removed the "spoiler warning" seeing as, this article is so inaccurate, nothing in that section really spoils the book. (I don't know about the movies, but this article isn't about the movies, is it?) 65.23.190.125
I think that there should be more mention of Dinosaur Summer, since it is -in a sense- a sequel. Also, when will the article for it be made?. I would like to see a summary of that story, as well as a complete bestiary. - 23:24, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
Real Species:
Fictional Species:
The only dinosaurs actually named in the original novel are Iguanodons (the pterodactyls should be included, probably; I don't think the term had expanded to all pterosaurs at the time). However, it's pretty obvious that Doyle was patterning his fauna after those found in the Wealden Formation and similar formations of Western Europe, reflecting Late Jurassic Early Cretaceous times, so this should be considered. With this in mind, the carnivores are much more likely to be Megalosaurus, rather than Allosaurus. Also, as to the comment that the carnivores are "too small": perhaps they were younger or smaller individuals. Megalosaurs was probably rather smaller than the largest known Allosaurs, which approach Tyrannosaurus-size ( Saurophagus). The obvious Stegosaurus is an oddity, we even know the particular picture that Doyle based his description on. CFLeon 23:45, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

I would like to question the assertion that E.D. Morell and Roger Casement were both models for the character of Edward Malone in The Lost World (1912).
It appears to me that Malone (the narrator) had far more in common with Arthur Conan Doyle's friend, Bertram Fletcher Robinson (1870-1907). Fletcher Robinson had previously acted as 'Assistant Plot Producer' to The Hound of the Baskervilles (1901).

I believe that this is a matter worthy of further consideration.

I think it might be worth listing Richard Burton and Henry Stanly as well, since, if I recall correctly, Gladys specifically tells Malone that she wants a man like one of them and this in part inspires him to go adventuring. Since both were explorers, and Burton a mental giant, going to the very darkest regions of the world, it seems likely that they inspired not only Gladys, but Doyle as well.

Considering it was written eighty years earlier and more notable, I really believe that The Lost World (novel) should direct to this article, and the other novel of the same name should be linked from The Lost World (Michael Crichton) 69.225.88.38 ( talk) 23:05, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
In the Radio 4 version (2011) Professor Summerlee has undergone a narrative modifying sex change, acquired the first name, Diana. 'She' is played by the actress, Jasmine Hyde. Ms. Hyde follows in the footsteps of previous actors playing Professor Summerlee: Arthur Hoyt, Richard Haydn, Leo Marion, Carleton Hobbs, David Warner, Kenneth Brannagh, Michael Sinelnikoff, Sean Connery and James Fox, though perhaps with a pair of stiletto heels in her hand luggage.
This sex change to one of the main characters might have been construed as political correctness, were it not for use of Ms. Summerlee as a love interest, as illustrated, for example, by the narrator's musing about her...

The author's surname was simply "Doyle". This needs to be moved.-- Khajidha ( talk) 22:29, 3 April 2020 (UTC)
