Just a tip for searching things: for some reason, AltaVista seems to be better for finding
"natural-history" (ie, nature-related) things, such as shells, specimen or scientific-related.  I
know "Hot-Bot" has more pages, but it just doesn't seem to do the trick as well as AltaVista, for
some reason!  (also, AltaVista has a great "advanced-search" site, where you can use all those
gadgets such as AND, OR, NOT, NEAR and other "boolean" devices :http://www.altavista.com/cgi-bin/query?pg=aq&what=web.
Cheers,
Ross.

P.S.: Does anyone know where the term "natural History" comes from??
