Abstract

This paper, and the following 5 papers, were presented at the RIN93 Conference on “Orientation and Navigation - Birds, Humans and other Animals.” This took place in Oxford in April, and included some 40 papers. Copies of the complete Proceedings, priced £25 for RIN members and £35 for non-members, are available from the Director.
