[Re-sending this as it apparently didn't go through earlier]

Thanks Dave, may be useful so I too downloaded it.   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.  It is easy to scroll around, though, so not a big  
problem.

A limitation is that very little information is given against each  
definition, usually just a bare phrase or one liner.  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.  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.
Steve, Halifax
