New Jiufotang Formation Bird

["Jerry D. Harris" <dinogami@hotmail.com>]

Hi All -

  Yet another feathery critter, from the latest ish of _Chinese Science 
Bulletin_ (now available via my Journal Links page, although I can't get the 
PDF version of this article to come up for some reason...nice color photo of 
it there, though!), called _Longipteryx chaoyangensis_.  The citation:

Zhang, F., Zhou, Z., Hou, L., and Gu, G. 2001.  Early diversification of 
birds: Evidence from a new opposite bird. Chinese Science Bulletin 46(11): 
945-950.
