Hi folks,
 
I have been trying to get my world list in order, in line with the new IOC 3.1 
list.  To this end I have been working on an excel spreadsheet using the online 
IOC 3.1 excel template which includes drop down menus for all 
currently accepted sub-species.  
 
I have designed it to work out my world tally based on my recent trips so it is 
just a totals list and doesnt allow for comments or locations to be included, 
although it could easily be modifed to include this if you wish.  It has a drop 
down menu to allow quick access to specific families (this is needed 
with 10,868 species and over 32,000 lines of family/species/sub-species 
data!).  It also works out the number of extinct species and calculates a 
families sighted list as well.  If anybody is interested in a copy of the draft 
spreadsheet for their own record keeping please let me know.
 
Also I have updated my old C&B excel spreadsheet to IOC3.1 including name 
changes and sub-species (so basically it is an IOC list but in the old C&B 
order).  This spreadsheet is a bit older than the one above (which was done 
last weekend) but allows you to include comments and notes on locations seen. 
 
It provides an IOC total, C&B total, IOC mainland total, C&B mainland total, 
which makes it easy to provide your details for input into Tony Pallisers web 
page.  Again it has a drop down menu for quick navigation to different 
families.  If you want a copy of this let me know, but bear in mind you will 
need to clean out all of my existing sightings (sorry getting lazy in my old 
age;-)
 
Please note, all care no responsibility in terms of calculation errors but it 
looks pretty good to me.
 
Cheers,
 
Carl
