[68] Cope has proposed the names Camerosaurus, Amphicœlias, &c., for these problematical animals. Marsh names them Titanosaurus, Atlantosaurus, &c., while Owen holds that some of them at least are identical with his genus Chondrosteosaurus. Seeley and Hulke adopt the name Ornithopsis, and support Cope’s view of their nature.

[69] Ratitæ.

[70] Woodward in a recent paper refers to a still more curious resemblance of the Dinosaurs to the biped lizard of Australia (Chlamydosaurus), which runs on its hind limbs, and even perches on trees.
