Visual censusing bibliography

Wed Feb 28 23:58:23 EST 2001

Hello all. There were requests for visual census technique citations and for circular plot refrences.  I have compiled the responses and bibliographic information and would like to share it with anyone who is interested.

Happy censusing!
