Recent publications on waders 80
compiled by HENK KOFFIJBERG
In trying to make these lists as complete as possible, and the next one even more complete and up to date,
your help is necessary! Please send new titles, abstracts, reprints, copies, reports, and (important too!) omissions or corrections to: Henk Koffijberg, Glenn Millerweg 102, NL-1311 RW Almere, The Netherlands.
koffijberg@wanadoo.nl
Remember to include, if possible, the address of the first author, and translations of titles if they are in other
languages than English.
For help with this issue I am very grateful to S. Nebel, R.M. Ward, P. Triplet, B. Trolliet, K.-M. Exo and
J. Elts. Translated titles from languages other than English are bracketed; with round brackets if the translation
is by the author(s), square brackets if not.
N.B. A copy of your paper or abstract would be very helpful to enable me to add some keywords or give
added annotation to the titles.
