Chapter Arrangement

The book consists of a number of chapters, which will become available in batches. Each chapter deals with a group of several similar species, and in general there are several chapters in every family and large subfamily.

The chapters are numbered in a hierarchical way to reflect the family or subfamily and the species group, as summarised in Chapter Contents and in the current downloadable Price/Contents list.
