Yes, the word crotchet seems to be used in commonwealth countries
instead of the quarter note, and the semiquaver is a
sixteenth-note. Here's a quick reference:
Breve: two whole notes tied together (rarely used)
Semibreve: whole note
Minim: half note
Crotchet: quarter note
Quaver: eighth note
Semiquaver: sixteenth note
Demisemiquaver: thirty-second note
Hemidemisemiquaver: sixty-fourth note ...
And so on.

Hmm ok, that's interesting Graham. Is a chrochet a quarter note?
What's a semi-quaver? I'm guessing this is terminology common to
the UK, or is this standardized throughout Europe? As I'm sure you
know, it's all quarters, eighths, etc. throughout North America.
The turn sounds like what is also known as a neighboring tone
figure, although I'll now have to go review my notes on neighboring
tones, escape tones, etc. as I can never keep those things straight.

Is a great page on this, and that site in general is a very handy
reference for traditional music theory terms and concepts.
