[From moderator: apologies to George; a keyboard error of mine hid the correct sender of this in a version posted a short time ago.] Dear Jim, I think what you did is extremely useful, also because it will make the views of MR on category theory very clear. My list below contains APCS in addition to the two journals everybody mentions. It does not contain HHA and JHRS, not because I have anything against them, but because we are explicitly talking about category theory now (according to your message to MR).

Dear George, Naturally I agree that the "Cahiers" be included in the list. Since many years, the Math. Reviews ask me to send them 2 free copies of each issue of the "Cahiers", which I do regularly, and the papers in the "Cahiers" are analysed and figure in their authors'list of publication (at least for those I have verified). However I have just seen that the "Cahiers" as such are not in the list of journals and I am going to write them to have an explanation. With all my best wishes for the new year, Warm regards Andree
Dear Jim, There should be mention of Mathematical Structures in Computer Science. Although it's not exclusively about category theory, categories have always played a prominent role in the mathematical structures used. Regards, Steve Vickers. jim stasheff wrote:
