Imran can you please give the source to which the estimate was 100,000 million?
As the most recent estimates state 8.7 million give or take 1.3 million according to reliable sources like the BBC, the guardian and the NY times. I have linked the sources below. Maybe it was the statement "the vast majority have not been identified" that confused you, they mean that they estimate 8.7 million species but they have not all been databased, given names etc. only about 1.9 million have been "identified" but 8.4 million is the predicted figure.
Sources:
BBC: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-14616161
Guardian: http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2011/aug/23/species-earth-estimate-scientists
NY times: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/08/30/science/30species.html
There are many others but i picked 3 reliable websites as i didnt want to flood you with sources.
