This study completes that undertaken by Broom (1949); it has also enabled us to observe the tooth replacement and, after further preparation, the internal face of the endocranium basis. In preference to the term Bauriamorpha, Scaloposauria has been chosen to include: Ictidosuchidae, Scaloposauridae, Bauriidae, Ericiolacertidae, Lycideopsidae, N anictidopsidae and Silpholestidae. In addition, after comparison between Scaloposauria and Cynodontia on one hand, and between Procynosuchidae and Silphedestidae on the other hand, the author suggests that the latter family should be reviewed and placed amongst the Cynodontia, as indicated by Haughton and Brink in 1954, and Brink (1960a), rather than amongst the Bauriamorpha, as suggested by Watson and Romer in 1956.frArticle
