Georeferencing Method: Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012 (Georeferenced to the summit of the mountain in the region of Serrinha, located along Rio Mucajaí in Mun. Mucajai, Roraima. Using Google Maps - Satellite and Terrain Views, located the mountain in the region of Serrinha. Pinpointed the peak of the mountain using the Terrain View. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates of the peak of the mountain (approx. 500 m altitude, in accordance with other locality descriptions). Used the Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to find the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of the mountainous area. Input coordinates, linear extent (9498.35 m), and measurement error (.5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Named Place: Defined Area).)
Coordinate Uncertainty(m): 9500.42
