COMMENTS FROM COLLEAGUES
1. Field Guides (from John Rowlett)
Dear Minturn and Frank,
Thanks so much for sending me a copy of your Birds of the World , a real labor of love for which you are entitled compliments and a big round of applause from Field Guides for having initiated such a carefully done standard for English names. As you indicate, it will be a work in progress, but your beginning is a strong one that I hope will be accepted by the AOU subcommittee working on taxonomy, nomenclature, etc., for South America, as well as by other checklist committees and authors worldwide.
