RecentOrnithological Literature (ROL) is a quarterlycompilation of abstractsfrom theworld- wide scientificliterature on birds.The ROL dealschiefly with periodicals,but alsoannounces new and renamedjournals and providesabstracts of specialpublications, reports, and book chapters.The abstractsare prepared by scientistswho voluntarilyscan journals for ornitho- logicalarticles, generally according to the geographiccoverage of the threesocieties. Abs- tractorsin the AOU mostlycover journals in the Americasand the Philippines;those in the BOU mostlycover journals published in Europe,Africa, and mainlandAsia; and RAOU volunteerscover journals published in Australasia,Japan, and other island nationsof the Pacific. ROL usersshould search in everylikely categoryfor relevantarticles. The categorization procedureis oftensubjective and eachcitation is assignedto only one category,regardless of how many topicsare covered. Sincethe ROL strivesfor globaland comprehensivereporting, we encourageusers to rec- ommendto their regionaleditors periodicals that oughtto be included.Authors, editors, or publisherswhose articles or journalsare not coveredby ROL shouldsend reprints, abstracts, or journalissues to the regionaleditor responsible for coverageof the geographicalarea in whichthe journalis published,or to the CoordinatingEditor. We need and welcomeadditional abstractors. If you would like to help, pleasecontact your regionaleditor to learn which journalslack coverageand to receiveinstructions for preparingabstracts. Notice:We will henceforthpublish abstracts of doctoraldissertations, going back to those completedsince January 1, 1995.Authors who wish to be includedshould prepare an entry in ROL styleand sendit to one of the regionaleditors. Submittal via e-mail or on diskette (WP or ASCII) with hard copy preferred.Entries should include: author's name, year of completion,title, "Ph.D. dissert.",university name and location,(author's postal and e-mail addresses),and a 1-2 sentenceabstract, not a full-dress abstract.

Ash-throatedAntwren (Herpsilochmus parkeri) J.V. Remsen, Jr., Editor

This commemorative volume acknowledges the central contributions of the late Theodore A. Parker IH to Neotropical ornithology. The volume contains 51 papers devoted to Neotropical birds. Twelve papers are co-authored by Parker, snd two papers address Parker's life and influence on ornithology in the New World tropics. A full bibliography of his publications is included. Seven new species are described, including three new Scytalopus tapaculos, two tyrannids, snd two _•ntbirds. An additional 20 forms are raised to species status in revisions of species limits for several important groups. Many papers focus on distribution snd biogeography, foraging ecology, and conservation, snd are written by leading workers in Neotropical field ornithology. The volume is a must for anyone interested in the stunning avi•n diversity that characterizes the New World tropics. Several color illustrations are included in the volume.
