The IATTC Special Reports contain material, other than original scientific research, that is nevertheless of interest to wide segments of the scientific community.  There are separate English and Spanish versions of Numbers 1, 5, and 13. Numbers 4, 14 and 16 are printed in both English and Spanish.  Numbers 2, 3, and 7-12,15 and 17 are printed in English only, and Number 6 is printed in Spanish only.  These are issued on an irregular basis.
