Re: Mike Wise writing a book? MIKEWISE.COM

["Scott Olson" <olson7@hotmail.com>]

I'd be more than happy to help with line drawings, as well.  Someone 
mentioned the drawings in the German L&S as being a good tool.  I never 
found them to be so because:

The ones that are any good are just traced copies of the photos aready in 
the book, and provide little in the way of diagnostic markings, other than 
those clearly visible on the photos.  Look at the drawing of Eunotus, for 
example...pretty much bereft of ANY identifying marks.

Some of them are wild guesses drawn from the original scientific 
description, and tend to be way off the mark - look at the drawing of 
Elizabethae, for example, and the female 'Hoignei'.

Anyway, I think we can do better.

Regards,

Scott Olson
