In brief summary, Khansahib's list is basically the usually-given twenty-two srutis plus the three "ati ati komals" (ati ati komal re; ati ati komal ga; and ati ati komal dha). Though not on the usual list of 22 srutis, it is well-known that these notes do appear is some ragas. So really there are twenty-five notes on Khansahib's list. It's reduced to twenty-three and half because he gives "half" status to three notes that are usually considered srutis -- the lesser-used versions of shuddha re, shuddha ga, and shuddha ni. I think this is the most illuminating aspect of his comment.
