The Proper Way to Report Birds in Print

Hargrave LL. 1968. The Proper Way to Report Birds in Print. American Antiquity. 33(3):384-385

The improper publication of bird names in archaeological reports may lead to misunderstanding of texts. Standardized procedures for printing bird names have been in general use by ornithologists for about 100 years, but are discussed here for the archaeologists. Examples are given so distortion of facts may be avoided and clarity of interpretation may be better maintained.
