I think your copy may have an editors error (the books are actually edited a bit in the newer version; things like Grant's line about Deinonychus being Velociraptor was cut and Crichton used the wrong type of graph and do was subsequently replaced with the correct version). On p. 329 on my copy, where you say that line is, it reads for me, "The velociraptor was six feet tall, and powerfully built, although its strong legs and tail were hidden by the tables." and on the page over, the narration reads, "Up close, it was a much more frightening animal than the tyrannosaur. THR tyrannosaur was huge and powerful, but it wasn't especially smart. The velociraptor was man-size, and it was clearly quick and intelligent" (Crichton 1990).
