Tom,
    I'll make you a deal.  If you can convince any major university to 
establish a Department of Ceratopsia which is equivalent to their Department 
of Ornithology, then I will consider Ceratopsia as a separate class.
    By the way, does anyone know if any universities have yet combined 
their bird and reptile specimens into one big collection?
                ----Cheers, Ken  :-)
P.S.  However, you may all rest assured that I will never consider the 
recognition of Huxley's Kingdom Psychozoa for Homo sapiens.  :-)
