Card 65-61825 International Standard Serial Number: ISSN 0066-4626 Key title: Antarctic bibliography For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office Washington, D C. 20402 Introduction This volume is the eighteenth in a continuing series of compilations presenting abstracts and indexes of current Antarctic literature published since 1962. A com¬ panion volume to the series, Antarctic Bibliography; 1951-1961, extends the coverage retrospectively. The material has been compiled over a period of 12 (formerly 18) months; the cut-off date for inclusion in this volume was December 1990. To provide cur¬ rent awareness, the abstracts have also been distributed as 12 monthly bulletins under the title Current Antarctic Literature. The bulletins are generated from a computerized database which is also used in producing this cumulated listing and the indexes. The present volume contains abstracts numbered from 40,799 to 42,875; these first appeared in issues no. 209 through 220 of Current Antarctic Literature. The first five volumes each contained 2,000 abstracts. Thus, items 1-2,000 appeared in volume 1 (published in 1965), items 2,001-4,000 in volume 2 (1966), items 4,001-6,000 in volume 3 (1968), items 6,001-8,000 in volume 4 (1970), and items 8,001-10,000 in volume 5 (1971). Volume 6 (1973) contained items 10,001-12,244, volume 7 (1974) items 12,245-14,447, volume 8 (1976) items 14,448-16,899, volume 9 (1977) items 16,900-19,248, volume 10 (1979) items 19,249-21,721, volume 11 (1980) items 21,722-24,083, volume 12 (1982) items 24,084-26,452, volume 13 (1983) items 24,453-28,961, volume 14 (1985) items 28,962-31,756, volume 15 (1986) items 31,757-34,660, volume 16 (1988) items 34,661-37,522, and volume 17 (1989) items 37,523-40,798. The material is arranged in sections representing thirteen subject categories (see table of contents). Items that apply to two or more categories are listed in one section only and cross referenced at the end of the other pertinent sections. Be¬ cause of this scheme of arrangement, some items dealing with the same subject (from different aspects) will be found in two different categories; e.g. some papers on marine sediments may be found in Section E (Geological Sciences), and others in J (Oceanography). Within each section, abstracts are arranged by accession num¬ ber; the indexes are keyed to these numbers. Foreign-language titles are given in English translation first, with the original title following in brackets. Transliteration of Cyrillic and romanization of orien¬ tal languages follow the Library of Congress systems. Some of the citations are followed by library call numbers, preceded by the library symbols commonly used in union catalogs. As a rule, the abstracts are informative rather than descriptive, but no attempt is made to verify or critically evaluate the author’s statements or conclusions. Author abstracts are either used unchanged or modified for the sake of brevity or conformity to guidelines adopted for this bibliography. Four indexes are provided: (1) an author index that includes coauthors (anony¬ mous journal articles are referred to under the journal name); (2) a subject index that occasionally extends to two levels of subheadings and contains cross- references; (3) a geographic index to names of places, stations, and geographic features as approved by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names; and (4) a grantee index to names of organizations or institutions that received financial support from the National Science Foundation for work that resulted in publications ab¬ stracted in the volume. In each index, entries are cited by a letter, indicating the subject category, followed by the accession number: for example, B-42469 refers to section B, Biological Sciences, item number 42469. iii Although the majority of the publications abstracted are in the collections of the Library of Congress, many significant items were lent by or exchanged with other institutions, made available by the Division of Polar Programs of the Na¬ tional Science Foundation, or received as review copies or reprints directly from publishers and authors. Because they contribute to more current and complete coverage, review copies and reprints are especially valuable, and publishers and authors are encouraged to send them to the Library of Congress, Science and Tech¬ nology Division, Cold Regions Bibliography Project, Washington, D.C. 20540, U.S.A. Requests for photoreproductions of documents cited in this bibliography, ex¬ cept material protected by copyright, should be directed to the Library of Con¬ gress, Photoduplication Service, Dept. C-177, 10 First Street SE., Washington, D.C. 20540. U.S. government or government-sponsored technical reports may, in most cases, be obtained from the National Technical Information Service, Springfield, VA 22151- For such reports, NTIS order numbers are usually includ¬ ed in the bibliographic citation.
