NOTES SPECIFIC TO THIS DRAFT (July 2003)

This draft has many imperfections but is released to those interested in the ABBA project as an aid to research.

Those papers showing an ABBA record Accession Number e.g. "(ABBA: 883070)" have produced at least one bird record relevant to the ABBA project and will be shown on the literature list of the ABBA database.

There is obviously much work to be done on format and continuity. The many inconsistencies will gradually be removed in later editions. Note especially that the standards and rules outlined in "Structure & Scope" below are the targets for the final bibliography and do not necessarily apply consistently (if at all) to this draft. A group of question marks "???" in the bibliography indicates a query of some kind which needs to be resolved.

Regular articles such as "Miscellaneous notes", "Bird notes" and "Recent Reports" which appear in many of the natural history society journals of Arabia and the Middle East are not, as a rule, included.

Readers of this edition are asked to forward any corrections, comments and additions direct to the author. (See contact details on page 1)

INTRODUCTION

This bibliography is based on Arabian papers in the bibliography prepared by W A C Griffiths entitled Bibliography of the Avifauna of the Arabian Peninsula the Levant and Mesopotamia (Griffiths 1975) (and two addenda to that bibliography) and titles contained in a card index bibliography maintained by the author which covers more recent material. This bibliography has been prepared as a working tool for the capture of published records for the ABBA project and as an aid to authors compiling the species accounts for the final atlas.

STRUCTURE & SCOPE

Every traceable published source which contains information concerning birds in Arabia is included in this bibliography. Every published note, paper, or book with at least one distribution record of an Arabian bird, precise enough to be included in the ABBA database is also included. In addition other papers which refer directly to Arabian birds for example, concerning identification, behaviour and biology are included. Important unpublished sources are also listed.

Each entry may be broken down into separated fields as used in the ABBA literature database. A simplified definition of each field is described below.

Field 1: Author/Authors

This is self explanatory, however the family name of the author is used in strict alphabetical sequence and readers should note the order of entries from the following examples.

Allison

Al Salamah

Mactavish

Mctavish

Seton-Brown

Van Someren

Treatment of anonymous works is as follows. If a paper is truly anonymous "Anon" is shown. However if the "anonymous author" can be identified, or has been identified by some other author, the reference appears as "Anon (Brown, AB)". Similarly some authors have been merely recorded by their initials. This may have been readily understood at the time but the authors identity has been lost since. Where such authors are easily identified from other sources they are given in full with the initials shown in brackets for example "Blandford, W T, (W T B)".

Field 2: Date of Publication

This is usually shown simply as the year e.g. 1996. Publications that have appeared in more than one year are shown e.g. "1990 and 1993" (i.e. two volumes appeared, one in each of the years shown). If various parts of a publication appeared on each year for a number of years the reference is shown as "1990-1993". Dates which have an asterisk immediately following them e.g. "1996*", are uncertain dates of publication and the date shown represents the date usually attributed or an approximate date.

Field 3: Title

The title is given without capitals except for proper nouns, place names etc. Titles entirely in round brackets are nominal titles where the article does not have an identifiable title. Titles in square brackets denote paper originally titled in a foreign language. An indication of the language of the paper in such cases is given in the supplementary notes Field 5 (see below). Where a title is misleading or needs clarification appropriate notes are also given in Field 5.

Field 4: There are three options in this field.

4a: Journal Reference

Journals/periodicals appear in the abbreviated form as defined at appendix 1 or are given in full in accordance with Appendix 2. Volume and part numbers are given where known. When a publication is paginated following the volume the part number is shown in parenthesis e.g. Ibis 138 (4):498-499. Where the pagination follows the part the volume is shown in parenthesis e.g. JSANHS (2)4:56-58. Note that not all periodicals are consistent in this respect.

4b: Publication details

Where a paper is not a periodical the publication details of the book or report are provided. This is usually the name of the publishers and the town(s) of publication. For reports the name of the organisation and address is provided. Sometimes reports are sponsored by one organisation but, produced by another - details are given where appropriate.

4c: Unpublished works

A clear definition of what constitutes publication is very illusive and no attempt has been made to offer a definition in this bibliography. Unpublished papers will be shown as "published by the author" or similar and an address provided or advice given on where the document can be found. Unless otherwise advised all unpublished works are held in the ABBA library.

Field 5: Supplementary notes (Does not apply to this draft)

Relevant additional information is provided in this field. For example the language of the original publication (and any summary), details if the paper was published in two or more different versions etc.

Field 6: ABBA relevance

Those papers which have been examined and records extracted for the ABBA database are shown with the Accession number of the paper e.g. "Accn 833021". Papers which are not relevant to breeding birds but concern Arabia for example they may only relate to migrants) will be identified as "ABBA: nil". References with these marks also include those papers where the same records have been obtained from another source, e.g. a similar paper by the same author or where the author has reported the records on which the paper was based direct to the ABBA project as an observer. As a rule records on the ABBA database provided by an observer take precedence over a publication by the observer which contains that data. (This explains why some papers with lots of specific records do not show a data accession number). Papers not yet examined for the ABBA database are left as "ABBA:....".

Field 7: Key words (Does not apply to this draft)

References have been examined and key words identified under the following subjects.

a. Species - where five or less species are the main subject of the paper, each species is key worded to the key word index.

b. Ornithological subjects e.g. habitats, behaviour, migration, endemism etc., are key worded as appropriate.

c. Conservation subjects are also key worded e.g. hunting, falconry, pollution.

d. Geographical regions, geological and topographic features are identified e.g. islands, mountain ranges, wadis etc.

e. Political states and units are also shown including dependencies and occupied territories.

Field 8: Reference number (Does not apply to this draft)

For ease of reference in the key word directory, each paper has been given a sequential number from 1 to 1000??? and this is shown at the very end of the reference.

Field 9; Asterisks and other notes (Does not apply to this draft)

Acknowledgements

Full acknowledgements will be provided in the final version but for now I would like to record my thanks to Bill Griffiths and Effie Warr who have been a great help in collecting details for this catalogue over many years. Also to Anne Jones, Lorraine Russell and Carol Qirreh who have put in many hours in preparing updates of the manuscript.
