The twistor correspondence between anti-self-dual four-manifolds and certain complex three-folds has been used successfully to solve problems from Riemannian geometry by using techniques of complex geometry. Using this correspondence, the author gives a classification of toric anti-self-dual Einstein metrics. In fact he proves that each such metric is essentially determined by a holomorphic odd function. A different classification based on Joyce spaces was given by \textit{D. M. J. Calderbank} and \textit{H. Pedersen} [cf. J. Differ. Geom. 60, No. 3, 485--521 (2002; Zbl 1067.53034)]. The author gives a new proof of their theorem and shows the equivalence of the two classifications.
