RecentOrnithological Literature is a cooperative,volunteer project for the benefit of orni- thologiststhe world over. The partnershipbegan in 1983(Auk 100, Ibis125) when the AOU and BOU combined their Recent Literature sectionsto publish a single supplement of or- nithologicalliterature. 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 mainland . The RAOU coversjournals published in Australasia, Japan,and other island nations of the Pacific.Volunteers scanabout 700 titles and contribute abstractsregularly. Authors' addressesare included, if the journal lists them, to facilitate communication between readers and authors. RecentOrnithological Literature strives for comprehensivecoverage of the world's periodical literature of interest to personsstudying wild . Readersare encouragedto consult the "List of JournalsScanned" published annually in the fourth supplementand to make rec- ommendationsfor increasingjournal coverage. Authors, editors, or publisherswhose articles or journalsare not coveredby the ROL should send reprints, abstracts,or exchangeissues to the editor responsiblefor covering the geographicalarea where the journal is published. Volunteer abstractors are welcomed. Dedication:The Editorsdedicate this issueof ROLto the memoryof Marion A. Jenkinson, who was serving as Interim Editor at the time of her untimely accidental death. Marion graciouslyvolunteered for this job, and had been devotingher tremendousenergy into bringing ROL up-to-date, and we are all, as are usersof this supplement, indebted to her for her hard work and perseverance.We shall very much missher enthusiasmand dedication. Becauseof Marion's tragic death,the publicationschedule of ROL will differ from that set forth in the supplement to TheAuk 111(3), The Emu 94(3), and The Ibis 136(3). Much of the 136(3).Much of the remaining older material is included herein, and nearly all of the rest will be in the following supplement,after which publication should be back on schedule. Readersare urged to searchin every likely categoryfor relevant articles,as the categorizing procedureis often subjective,and each citation can be assignedto only one category.
