Georeferencing Method: BioGeomancer, Guide to Best Practices for Georefer (Assumed this locality to be Pau creek, prope (near) Kaurie, Courantyne Creek/River. Unable to find Pau creek or a village named Pau; instead, georeferenced to the confluence of Courantyne River and Katurie River in Coeroeni, Sipaliwini District, Suriname, treating this locality as a Near a Feature (Biogeomancer Guide to Best Practices for Georeferencing). Used Google Maps - Earth View to locate the confluence of Courantyne River, Kutari River, and the Sipaliwini River (mouth of Kutari River). Used the Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates for the approximate geographic center of the confluence, on the adjacent shore (collection assumed to be terrestrial). Used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to find the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of the confluence (242.57 m). According to Biogeomancer Guide to Best Practices for Georeferencing, locality type: Near a Feature, the linear extent should be calculated as the greater of 2 km or 200% of the linear extent of the named place, so in this case used 2 km. Input coordinates, coordinate precision (.00001 degrees), datum (WGS84), linear extent (2000 m), and measurement error (25 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide to find the uncertainty radius (according to Biogeomancer Guide to Best Practices for Georeferencing, Near a Feature).)
