Clearly Clements was a rabid twitcher. There can be no other sensible
explanation for the dramatic increase in species other than the Author's
desire to inflate his own life list.

Short answer. No.
I know that there are "now 9,930 sp recognized" compared to "over
9,700" in last edition.
It doesn't give a summary of recent changes this time.
It provides a web page for "updates" but going to it only offers the
option of purchasing the book at the moment. See http://
www.birds.cornell.edu/clementschecklist
I think the updates promised by Clements in the last volume ended,
not surprisingly, with his premature death. The fact that Cornell
have now taken it over to me indicates they should keep it regularly
updated.
It's fun reading though and the likelihood is you'll need it eventually!
Happy to answer questions for now though the link above should give
you most of the information.
Cheers
Alan

Hi all,
Thought it may be appropriate to advise that the new Clements arrived
today fresh from the US.
Now for many happy hours of updating!
Cheers
