Hi folks,

Just got the July 1996 issue of The Auk, quarterly journal of the =
American Ornithologists' Union. Here's the contents... Sorry that I =
don't have the time just now to summarize or add editorial comment to =
these titles, but I'm cramped for time.. If you're interested in any of =
the articles, email me back and I'd be glad to give you the 'abstract' =
or a line or two as to what that article is about. Otherwise, feel free =
to contact your friendly librarian to do a inter-library search for you =
( the bigger, university libraries probably have the Auk on the shelves =
for you) - the Olympia public library will send a xerox copy of the =
article if I supply the author(s), title, Journal name and volume, and =
page numbers in my request. My wife often asks for, and gets, some =
pretty obscure articles from relatively obscure journals like the =
British Grassland Society journal, etc.
