enantiornithean bird families

["Ken Kinman" <kinman@hotmail.com>]

Dear All,
    When I posted my recently proposed avian classification, there was some 
discontent expressed that I put all the enantiornitheans in one family 
Enantiornithidae.  I have decided that it would indeed be better to 
recognize more than one family, so I am here proposing to recognize three 
families in clade 11 (as follows):

  11  Iberomesornithidae
   B  Enantiornithidae
   C  Gobipterygidae

     I should note that Kurochkin, 1996, for some odd reason renamed 
Iberomesornithidae as Concornithidae, but this was pretty clearly 
unnecessary.  He also uses the name Alexornithidae, but Gobipterygidae has 
priority.
     As usual any constructive comments are welcomed.
        ----- Cheers,   Ken Kinman
