Abstract
IN NATURE for July 7, p. 10, Prof. Cole criticises “American authors” for using the term dinosaur, instead of clinging as he does to “deinosaur”. In a previous number of NATURE (July 1, 1922, p. 21) the reviewer of an article on the Deinodontidæ takes the authors to task for not using “what is now considered the more correct rendering of the Greek, as Dinodontidæ”. What can a poor American author do to be saved?
