Hi Steve.  This did go through earlier.  I remember reading it yesterday 
afternoon.  Perhaps you are not getting all NatureNS messages?

      Thanks Dave, may be useful so I too downloaded it.&nbsp;&nbsp; I checked out
      several terms and all those seemed to be there, but the 'search'
      function often doesn't give a useful result -- it drops you at a
      subsidiary use of a word, not at the main definition (e.g.
      microtrichia, lamina, medulla, chordotonal), and there's no
      cross-link from there.&nbsp; It is easy to scroll around, though, so
      not a big problem.

      <br>
      A limitation is that very little information is given against each
      definition, usually just a bare phrase or one liner.&nbsp; It is
      therefore not a useful source to start to allow exploration of a
      new unfamiliar topic, compared say to Wigglesworth's 'Principles'
      7th ed., or a standard invert zoology text.&nbsp; I wouldn't buy the
      $90 hardback printed version.

      A fair retort of course is that some people can always find
      something to grouse about, even when it's free like this.
