new bird osteology ref

[John R Hutchinson <jrhutch@stanford.edu>]

Just ran across this; some listmembers will be interested:

Hofling, E. and Alvarenga, MMF. 2001. Osteology of the shoulder girdle in
the Piciformes, Passeriformes, and related groups of birds. Zoologischer
Anzeiger 240:196-208.

An overview of potential characters in pectoral girdle elements in
various neoavian clades and grades.  Plenty of illustrations and
description.
