基　　金：CAH was invited to field by the Dirección Nacional del Antártico and the Instituto Antártico Argentino;Fuerza Aérea Argentina provided logistic support,and partial help was provided by the Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Tecnológicas and Universidad Nacional de La Plata(N838);CAH is particularly grateful to Oceanwide Expeditions,Vlissingen(NL)for financial support.JAC gratefully acknowledges U.S National Science Foundation Polar Programs support for field research support as well as descriptive work on Antarctic fossils(Grant nos.NSF OPP-1141820,OPP-0927341,OPP-0408308);the work of many stellar collaborators on these projects.

摘　　要：The fossil record of birds from Antarctica is concentrated in the James Ross Basin,located in north-east of the Antarctic Peninsula.Birds are here represented by an extensive Paleogene record of penguins(Sphenisciformes)and Cretaceous–Paleogene record of Anseriformes,followed by other groups with a minor representation(Procellariiformes,Falconiformes,and Pelagornithidae),and others previously assigned controversially to“Ratites”,Threskiornithidae,Charadriiformes,Gruiformes,Phoenicopteriformes,and Gaviiformes.We provide a complete update of these records,commenting on the importance of some of these remains for the evolution of the major clades.The fossil record of birds from Antarctica is concentrated in the James Ross Basin,located in north-east of the Antarctic Peninsula.Birds are here represented by an extensive Paleogene record of penguins(Sphenisciformes)and Cretaceous–Paleogene record of Anseriformes,followed by other groups with a minor representation(Procellariiformes,Falconiformes,and Pelagornithidae),and others previously assigned controversially to"Ratites",Threskiornithidae,Charadriiformes,Gruiformes,Phoenicopteriformes,and Gaviiformes.We provide a complete update of these records,commenting on the importance of some of these remains for the evolution of the major clades.
