EDITOR'S INTRODUCTORY NOTE Beginningin 1983(Auk 100, Ibis125) the AOU and BOU combinedtheir RecentLiterature Sections,and they now publish a single supplement of ornithological literature to which membersof both unions contribute. The AOU coversjournals published in the Americas, Australasia,and The . The BOU coversjournals published in , Asia, and . More than 100 volunteers scan about 300 titles and contribute abstractsregularly. Authors' addressesare included, if the journal lists them, to facilitate communicationbe- tween readersand authors. However, Russiaand many easternEuropean countriesalmost never include authors' addressesin their scientificjournals.--F.E.L.
