I knew I was forgetting something: Huxley's "Ornithoscelida" could
also have worked. It's actually pretty much identical in content to
traditional Dinosauria; he only needed a different name because he had
removed Compsognathus from Dinosauria to a new group, Compsognatha.
Ornithoscelida was comprised of Dinosauria sensu Huxley and
Compsognatha.
