Note 1: ROL #74 was the final issue using the below subject sort codes.

Note 2: The numbering was designed to (a) permit differentiation from earlier ROL subject sort codes, (b) to allow some future flexibility, and (c) use the fewest number of digits per code.

Note 3: Papers that covered more than one major topic are found under the General Biology series (A500) and placed in the appropriate geographic area of the study.

Note 4: The information contained in this file has been further reviewed and altered slightly for typographical, spelling, and taxonomic purposes from the printed version of this issue, which appeared as supplements to the October 1997 IBIS and AUK.
