RECENT ORNITHOLOGICAL PUBLICATIONS

Most of the books noted below are available for reference at the Alexander Library of the Edward Grey Institute of Field Ornithology, Department of Zoology, South Parks Road, Oxford; this library is open to BOU members (9.30 a.m.-5.30p.m., Monday to Friday; visitors are asked to write or telephone (0865–56789) in advance to ensure the library is open The Library's aim is to buildup a comprehensive collection of literature, so that it may be of maximum service to ornithologists. Its holdings include an extensive range of periodicals and a large number of reprints drawn from many sources; additional reprints of readers' papers are always most welcome. It has always greatly benefited from its close association with the BOU. For a number of years all journals received in exchange for Ibis have been deposited in the Library, as also, through the generosity of reviewers, are most books sent jar review. In return, as a service to readers, the Recent Ornithological Publications section of Ibis is organized and edited by Dr J. A. Horsfall, Dr M. L. Birch and Dr C. M. Perrins of the Edward Grey Institute, with the help of a panel of contributors. They are always grateful for offers of further assistance with abstracting, especially with foreign language books and likewise, offers to help compile the Recent Literature Supplement, in collaboration with the AOU. are always welcome. The Recent Literature Supplement will appear four times a year but not necessarily with each issue of Ibis, due to different publication schedules of Auk and Ibis. Sound recordings are reviewed by members of the Sub-Department of Animal Behaviour, High Street, Madingley, Cambridge, where the recordings are deposited.
