The story is this: I had a page, like Clark's but over a smaller range and with a bit less info about each group, derived form the Thomas+Wood book. Then I discovered Clark's page and emailed around trying to find out if I could combine them. Clark has disappeared and the webmaster maintaining the page indicated it was now the University's property and that could combine the two. Actually, both mine and Clark's are simply a recitation of well-known facts in an unoriginal format, so I don't think copyright is an issue. In fact, my plan was to write a Sage script to generate the data. I ran out of gas.
