Yes, the "lows (are) like the bass and highs the trebles." "Mids" stands for "midrange" or "middle range", i.e., that area between the highs and lows. Good luck with your review.

Something like this?
www.ka5cvh.com/downloads/musicchart1.pdf
There are plenty of variations on this theme to be found on the web. You will notice variations in teh transition frequencies, but the principles remain the same.
The one I have linked was found by googling instrument frequency ranges.
Cheers

Is there an audio version of this audio glossary?
For comedians in the crowd: no I'm not referring to reading aloud the glossary 
Like sound samples to help clarify each concepts ? even with some exaggerations if needs be
Whenever I read text referring to these concepts, I often feel like a visually challenged person attending art classes, studying how to draw using braille textbooks.
(No offense to the visually challenged: hats off to your relentless daily courage.)

I guess I should have googled a bit.
Here's what I've found so far:
Critical Listening and Auditory Perception
[HL472]
F. Alton Everest
ISBN: 0918371139
Critical Listening Skills for Audio Professionals
[HL5857]
F. Alton Everest
ISBN: 1598630237
Both are book/CDs combos.
The first one runs in the 200$, later one is more 45$.

Wikipedia this?
Is there a Wikipedia article about this? If there isn't, there should be. It seems like Wikipedia material to me - and you've already got sources.

Actually, I think there was a thread on ear training in the members' lounge recently.

Difficult to write a wiki article. the musicchart1.pdf is a useful guide but there are quite a few factual errors, with ranges of instruments and with some of the frequencies. For example: Tuba and string bass have the same low note "C". Kick drum attack is usually somewhere between 1-3kHz. Plus some more subjective errors: The high freq band usually goes to 12kHz and then the very highs. I've always associated ultra-high freq with freqs above 22kHz.
The problem is, all of us in the industry have slightly different descriptions and boundaries so it's very difficult to write a definitive article.

The fundamental notes don't typically go so high, but harmonics do.
Check this link for more details on harmonics.
