Annette: I'd get ready to buy your friend that bottle of good (Australian) wine. The exact number of world species remains a little debatabe and depends on which authority you follow BUT they all agree at around 9000 (eg Handbook of the Birds of the World). Julian >I had always thought that there was something like 1200 species in the world. Australia alone come in at around 800 these days and Africa and South America overshadow even that!
