Dear Charles,
I know that there are some faults and omissions in the list. This is also
known to the authors (Bieler & Kabat) because they have sent out reprints in
May 1991
with a leaflet containing already some additions and corrections.
In the meantime many new journals have appeared while others ceased
publication. A good example is to be found here in Israel: the I.M.S. ceased
the
publication of both "Argamon" and "Levantina" several years ago, but this
year they started the new journal "Triton".
Best regards, Henk K. Mienis.
