The difference is in the coupling method. The "series" version uses a
step-down transformer between the transmission line and the loop, with the
low-impedance secondary wired in series with the loop and tuning
capacitor.
The "parallel" version uses a step-up transformer, with the high-impedance
secondary placed across the tuning capacitor.
The performance of the antenna should be the same in either case.

Ah. So it really refers to parallel or series feeding. What about using the
capacitor potential divider method, or the coupling various coupling loop
methods?
