Due to a clerical error, the penultimate draft of the paper by J. M. Hipfner and A. J. Gaston was published in the July 2002 issue of The Auk (vol. 119, no. 3). Revisions in the final edited draft (by Associate Editor D. N. Nettleship and senior author J. M. Hipfner) include the title of the paper, terminology usage, and corrections to the list of references. The final, corrected version of the paper can be found on The Auk website at www.aou.org/aou/contents.html. All citations and use of the Hipfner and Gaston work should therefore correspond with the final version posted on the homepage and not that appearing in Auk 119(3): 827–832. The correct citation for the paper is
Hipfner, J. M., and A. J. Gaston. 2002–03. Growth of Thick-billed Murre (Uria lomvia) Chicks in Relation to Parental Experience and Hatching Date. Auk 119:827–832 and 120:235.
