Cope, the inventor of this most appropriate name, soon changed it, unnecessarily, into Theromora (μωρός = sluggish), perhaps in order not to emphasise too much their possible Mammalian affinities; while others rashly called them Sauro-Mammalia. For detailed illustrations of Theromorpha reference should be made to Owen, British Fossil Reptiles, 4to, London, 1849-55, and to numerous papers by Seeley, Phil. Trans. 178 (1887), 186 (1895), and by E. T. Newton in Phil. Trans. 184 (1893), 185 (1894).
