Georeferencing Method: Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012 (Referred to Wikimapia.org for locality information for Morro Queimado (http://wikimapia.org/30071136/pt/Morro-Queimado-714-m, accessed: 8/31/2015). Georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of Morro Queimado in Alto da Boa Vista, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Used the reference map and Google Maps - Earth and Terrain Views to locate Morro Queimado. Used the Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of the approximate geographic center of the hill. Used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to approximate the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the approximate geographic center of nearest named hill, Morro Boa Visa, then halving this distance. Input coordinates, coordinate source (locality description), coordinate precision (.00001 degrees), datum (WGS84), linear extent (329.81 m), and measurement error (5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to the Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Named Place: Bounded Area).)
Coordinate Uncertainty(m): 336.379
