including indeterminate salamanders,<br />
frogs and lizards. The former<br />
findings are of particular interest as they<br />
represent the first occurrence of Mesozoic<br />
amphibians in Denmark.<br />

新 第 三 纪 phasianid 属 ( 鸟 纲 : 雉<br />
科 ) 的 系 统 发 生 学 分 析 = Phylogenetic<br />
analysis of some Neogene phasianid<br />
genera (Aves: Phasianidae). ( 英 文 ). Zelenkov<br />

2009, 43(4): 438-443 1 图 版 .<br />
Phylogenetic analysis based on osteological<br />
characters of some Neogene<br />
and Recent phasianids is performed.<br />
Phylogenetic tree shows close relationships<br />
of Plioperdix with Ammoperdix<br />
and Tologuica with Excalfactoria.<br />
Chauvireria is at the base of the clade<br />
(Alectoris + (Coturnix + (Excalfactoria<br />
+ Tologuica))). Palaeoperdix is relatively<br />
close to the lineage of large<br />
pheasants.<br />

恢 复 孔 子 鸟 ( 鸟 纲 : 孔 子 鸟 目 ) 生 活<br />
方 式 初 探 = An attempt to reconstruct<br />
the lifestyle of confuciusornithids (Aves,<br />
Confuciusornithiformes). ( 英 文 ). Zinoviev<br />
A V. Paleontological Journal, 2009,<br />
43(4): 444-452 3 图 版 .<br />
The lifestyle of some representatives<br />
of the family Confuciusornithidae is reconstructed<br />
based on the analysis of osteological<br />
data, horn structures, and taphonomy.<br />
Confuciusornithids, which<br />
resemble extant Phaethon in general appearance,<br />
fed on fish, catching them<br />
from the surface layer of freshwater<br />
lakes. They rested and probably nested<br />
in trees growing near the basin. When<br />
moving in the tree canopy, they used the<br />
second digit of the wing, free from an<br />
alula and equipped with a welldeveloped<br />
claw. Unable to take off from<br />
the ground, they used the fourth digit of<br />
the forearm, which was free from feathers,<br />
for climbing tree trunks. A pair of<br />
elongated caudal feathers (rectrices)<br />
were probably used to attract mates.<br />

中 亚 新 近 纪 phasianid : 1. 新 属<br />
Tologuica = Neogene phasianids (Aves:<br />
Phasianidae) of Central Asia: 1. Genus<br />
Tologuica gen. nov.. ( 英 文 ). Zelenkov N<br />
V; Kurochkin E N. Paleontological<br />
Journal, 2009, 43(2): 208-215 3 图 版 .<br />
A new genus, Tologuica, with two<br />
species (T. aurorae sp. nov. and T. karhui<br />
sp. nov.), from the Middle Miocene<br />
of the Sharga locality (western Mongolia)<br />
is described. The new genus shares some<br />
characters with the extinct genera Palaeocryptonyx,<br />
Palaeortyx, and Plioperdix<br />
and with extant Coturnix. The foot<br />
structure suggests that Tologuica resembled<br />
in ecology the European genus Palaeortyx<br />
and was probably adapted to an<br />
arboreal mode of life, in contrast to the<br />
terrestrial Coturnix and Plioperdix.<br />

鴷 形 类 鸟 足 的 构 造 和 可 能 的 演 化 成 因<br />
机 制 ( 鸟 纲 : 鴷 形 目 ) = The structure<br />
and probable mechanism of evolutionary<br />
formation of the foot in piciform birds<br />
(Aves: Piciformes). ( 英 文 ). Zelenkov N<br />
V. Paleontological Journal, 2007, 41(3):<br />
290-297 4 图 版 .<br />
The foot structure of piciform and<br />
coraciiform birds is examined in detail.<br />
Certain similarity in foot structure between<br />
woodpeckers and woodhoopoes is<br />
shown and provides the basis for the<br />
model of the evolutionary formation of<br />
the zygodactyl foot. It is shown that African<br />
mousebirds and the Madagascan<br />
Leptosomus discolor are probably the<br />
closest relatives of piciforms. A brief<br />
review of fossil groups presumably belonging<br />
to the piciform stem is provided.<br />
