FLYING RAPTOR NAMED

[Tetanurae <Tetanurae@aol.com>]

Finally, the 'Madagascar flying raptor' has been given a name.  It will never
be mistaken for _Vorona_ again.  Cathy Forster will be naming it _Rahona
ostromi_ in friday's ish of Science.  The name means "Ostrom's menace from the
clouds" in whatever language is native to northwestern Madagascar.  I suppose
we will be also getting a cladogram and a nice reconstruction of the bones.
:-)

I also have in an email, the full text of an AP article.  I have forgoten if
it is against the rules to forward that to the list, and will refrain from
doing so until I get a go/no go from (the) Mickey.
