XENICIBIS ADDENDUM

[darren.naish@port.ac.uk]

Many thanks indeed to Fred for the extra info on extinct ibises. I 
checked and, when I said that _Xenicibis_ was described by Olson and 
Wetmore, I most definitely was thinking of their original description of 
_Apteribis_. This is what comes from relying on memory. The thing 
about _Xenicibis_ being a possible quadruped is an Olson abstract (it 
is definitely not mentioned in the 1991 Olson and James monograph 
on Hawaiian non-passerines [which includes description of _A. 
brevis_]) - I will get this off Hume when he returns from the 
Mascarenes.
