        I believe the text you're seeking is _Dynamics of Dinosaurs and
Other Extinct Giants_, by R. McNeill Alexander (New York: Columbia
University Press. 1989. viii + 167 pages. ISBN 0-231-06666-X). 

        Alexander covers pertinent information regarding relationships
between bone circumferences and body masses in Chapter 2, "Weighing
Dinosaurs," pages 16 - 26. I used this text as a basis for a "Dinosaur
Dynamics" class I gave to a group of students particiapting in a local
"Odyssey of the Mind" project, last year. 

Other recent books that may be of interest include:
