SUPPLEMENT TO IBIS Vol. 129, No. 2, April 19873 Edited by INNES C. CUTHILL (BOU) EdwardGrey Institute of FieldOrnithology, SouthParks Road, Oxford OX1 3PS,UK

Published by THE AMERICAN ORNITHOLOGISTS' UNION, THE BRITISH ORNITHOLOGISTS' UNION, and THE ROYAL AUSTRALASIAN ORNITHOLOGISTS UNION

Beginning in 1983 (Auk 100, Ibis125) the AOU and BOU combinedtheir RecentLiterature sections,to publish a single supplementof ornithologicalliterature to which membersof both unionscontribute. The RAOU joined this partnershipin 1987(Emu 87). The AOU covers journalspublished in the Americasand the Philippines.The BOU coversjournals published in Europe,Africa, and mainlandAsia. The RAOU coversjournals published in Australasia and other island nations of the Pacific. More than 150 volunteers scan about 650 titles and contributeabstracts regularly. Authors' addressesare included, if the journal lists them, to facilitate communication between readers and authors. RecentOrnithological Literature strives for comprehensivecoverage of the world'speriodical literatureof interestto personsstudying wild birds.Readers are encouragedto consultthe "List of JournalsScanned" published annually in the fourth supplementand to make rec- ommendationsfor increasingjournal coverage.

Published by THE AMERICAN ORNITHOLOGISTS' UNION, THE BRITISH ORNITHOLOGISTS' UNION, and THE ROYAL AUSTRALASIAN ORNITHOLOGISTS UNION

Beginning in 1983 (Auk 100, Ibis125) the AOU and BOU combinedtheir RecentLiterature sections,to publish a single supplementof ornithologicalliterature to which membersof both unionscontribute. The RAOU joined this partnershipin 1987(Emu 87). The AOU covers journalspublished in the Americasand the Philippines.The BOU coversjournals published in Europe,Africa, and mainlandAsia. The RAOU coversjournals published in Australasia and other island nations of the Pacific. More than 150 volunteers scan about 650 titles and contributeabstracts regularly. Authors' addressesare included, if the journal lists them, to facilitate communication between readers and authors. RecentOrnithological Literature strives for comprehensivecoverage of the world'speriodical literatureof interestto personsstudying wild birds.Readers are encouragedto consultthe "List of JournalsScanned" published annually in the fourth supplementand to make rec- ommendationsfor increasingjournal coverage.
