I've heard of probabilistic data structures like Skip Lists and Bloom Filters being immensely useful and I'd like to learn more about them in general. Is there a canonical reference on the subject on the level of Cormen et al.?

The closest site I can think of that might be canonical is the NIST standards web site:

This site can be short on descriptions but has links to external sites ..
