The intention was to use this work as a convenient means to access information on the mistletoes of New Guinea and surrounding regions. The text and figures from many works were scanned and converted to text using optical character recognition software, thus some errors certainly persist. Because these works are, in some cases, protected by copyright, this work is not for general distribution or publication. Much of the text derives directly from the work of Bryan A. Barlow who is gratefully acknowledged for his immense contribution to our understanding of this diverse flora. Bryan often acknowledges Benedictus Hubertus Danser (1891-1943) who provided a number of critical works that delimited most of the genera and species. To both of these "mistletoologists," I extend my sincere thanks.
