Dear Friends,

I am delighted to say that at 2.45 pm on Monday, 19 May, I entered the last synonym for Biziura Lobata Musk Duck.  This is the first attempt at a full synonymy for this family since Salvadori,1895,Catalogue of the Birds in the British Museum,27. Now I can put away all my stuff for ducks and go back to the pigeons.

Enjoy!  As usual, any comments,corrections or queries welcomed.
