Note: My tenure as the compiler of these lists ends with this issue (no. 200), and the endeavor will (once again) be taken over by Dr. Robert Egan [Dept. of Biology, University of Nebraska at Omaha, Omaha, NE 68182-0040, U.S.A.; e-mail: regan@mail. unomaha.edu ). Please send copies of all your lichen publications to Bob, so that these literature lists and the database that has grown from them will continue to be as comprehensive and useful as possible. Hopefully, most of you will continue to send your publications to me as well.
