terminology

[Scott <HORTON@BCRSSU.AGR.CA>]

  I finally got a copy of _THE_DINOSAURIA_ (softcover, at a quarter the price
of the hardcover version). The warnings about it were correct, and I am now
having the same problem with terminology that has become a subject on the list
recently. Too bad they didn't include a glossary for us laymen (sorry, lay-
persons?). Can anyone recommend an popularly available source to layperson
definitions of some of the terminology, or do I have to go back to university
and take a course of vertebrate physiology (or whatever the correct term is)?
