For information on using this file and other background information, please refer to the ROL Home Page.

(Sort codes not found in this issue are marked with an asterisk*)

Note 1: In every category, papers that do not fit neatly into one of the subcategories are placed directly under the main heading.

Note 2: The subject headings and most subheadings are listed alphabetically to make them easier to find. The only exception is under Paleornithology, where the categories are arranged chronologically.

Note 3: The numbering was designed to (a) permit differentiation from previous ROL subject codes, (b) to allow some future flexibility, and (c) use the fewest number of digits per code. Some numbers are no longer in use and are absent from the list.
