>>allowing searches on the Bivalve collection.  The database will be
>>replaced with a tidier version in terms of data quality in about three
>>weeks, but we are currently testing the interface/search times and we
>>would be grateful for your assistance in this, as we will be placing
>>the following files on-line in the next month:
>>
>>Mollusca:  Gastropods- Prosobranchs (40% of Melvill-Tomlin
>>collection)    Mollusca:  Gastropods- Pulmonates (20% of Melvill-Tomlin
>>collection)    Molluscs:  Cephalods- Hoyle Collections (100% of
>>collection) Annelida: Polychaetes     (part of collection inclduing types)
>>Vertebrates: Mounted Specimens (100% of collecti on)   Vertebrates:
>>Bird Skins collection (100% of collection)

>>We are aware of various typographical errors on the pages, and these
>>are being amended at present, but in order to get feedback before we
>>finalise the search structure for the other files listed above we
>>would be grateful if you take some time to look at the search facility
