Dear David:

  Sorry, I thought you meant you want to see where the <seriesStmt> is located.
  To answer your question on where the head elements are and its snippet, here it is:

<ad>

<head type="sub">FREE</head>

better to supply a small (10 line or so) complete input file.

The snippet you posted gives no indication about the location of ad or
head elements, no information about any namespaces in effect or any one
of 1000 possible sources of error.

you could delete them, they are not doing anything as far as i can see.
