Still looking for original established p-t 'Panda' referred to last comment, this is the useful accompanying suffix index now first noticed to attention. Think of Gilman's useful M&Bs as analogue to scientific latin classification in biology that few will occasion to use at all in favour of popular common name of pieces chosen with more discrimination. Another troubling exclusion is of two classes with members that ought to be considered in the top 100 all-time p-ts. They are Winther's 20 best Bifurcators and Knappen's 7 different Nightriders (one M&B does indicate ''Nachtmahr'' Quintessence in tail-end Notes). Is it because they are already well-named? In this week's revision or indexing, in fact found Panda_appears_here.
