Editorial News and Editor’s Comments 
The Wilson Ornithological Society has selected 
Dr. Margaret A. Voss as the next Book Review 
Editor for The Wilson Journal of Ornithology 
effective immediately. Dr. Robert B. Payne earlier 
asked to be replaced as Book Review Editor as 
noted in the June 2011 Issue (124: 427) when the 
vacancy was announced. Applications were re¬ 
ceived from interested persons and Margaret was 
selected. She can be contacted at mavl 1 @psu.cdu 
if you have an interest in reviewing a particular 
book or would like to suggest that a book be 
reviewed. Please note that we rarely encourage 
unsolicited book reviews. It was a pleasure to 
have Bob Payne ably sene as Book Review 
Editor for the last 3+ years. Some of the reviews 
solicited by Bob will continue to appear into 
2012 . 
I also take this opportunity to comment on not 
following the taxonomic nomenclature in the 
2011 Volume (123) as set forth by the Fifty- 
second Supplement to the American Ornitholo¬ 
gists’ Union Check-list of North American Birds 
(Auk 128:600-613). First, my copy of the July 
2011 Issue of Auk did not arrive until I August 
2011. The March and June 2011 Issues of The 
Wilson Journal of Ornithology had been printed 
on 25 February and 1 June, respectively. The 
September 2011 Issue had been made up and sent 
to Allen Press on 1 June and was in page proofs; it 
was printed and released on 1 September. The 
December 2011 Issue was made up in mid-August 
and sent to Allen Press on 29 August. Thus, there 
was little time to again review all bird names in all 
of the manuscripts in the December Issue prior to 
sending it to the printer. Second, we have an Index 
under active preparation throughout the year. 
My view, after careful consideration, was that it 
would be less confusing to have all Issues of 
Volume 123 follow the same taxonomy for birds 
in North America. Thus expect the changes to 
appear in the March 2012 Issue. I encourage all 
authors to follow the Fifty-second Supplement in 
their manuscripts for birds in North America 
(including Mexico) starting immediately.
