Don't know why I've not come across this before, but I have now. In a table definition I reference the primary key of another table. That key is of datatype SERIAL. In the referencing table, do I define the column as col_name INTEGER REFERENCES other-table (primary_key_field), or is the datatype SERIAL because that's what the referenced primary_key_field is?
