SID COWLING, HANZAB,
The Royal Australasian Ornithologists Union (known as Birds Australia) raises the $A1 million needed to compile each volume of The Handbook of Australian, New Zealand and Antarctic Birds. Your article (August 2003) only mentions the publisher, OUP. Maori names of New Zealand Birds are listed in Appendix III of each volume — on page 1220 in Volume 6 just after Appendix II — the Aboriginal names for Australian birds. The placement of these names in these two appendices was an early editorial decision for Volume 1, and has been retained for consistency.
For responses to letters about the Society’s position on genetic engineering see Comment, opposite.
