Georeferencing Method: Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012 (Referred to Peakbagger.com (http://www.peakbagger.com/peak.aspx?pid=8763, accessed 7/24/2015) and Wikimapia.org (http://wikimapia.org/#lang=en&lat=-22.461187&lon=-43.026774&z=16&m=b&show=/6542249/pt/Pedra-do-Sino-(2255-m)&search=teresopolis, accessed 7/24/2015) for locality information for Pedra do Sino. Does not appear that Pedra do Sino reaches 2600 meters in elevation (peak is 2275 meters); instead, georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of Pedra do Sino in Teresopolis, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Used the reference material and Google Maps - Terrain and Earth Views to locate Pedra do Sino. Used Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of the approximate geographic center of the mountain, at approximately elevation 2175 m (determined through examining contour lines provided by Google Maps - Terrain View). Because of the difficulty in discerning the spatial boundaries of Pedra do Sino, used Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to approximate the linear extent by measuring a straight line from selected coordinates to the approximate geographic center of the nearest named hill, Pedra de São Pedro (information provided by http://wikimapia.org/#lang=en&lat=-22.461187&lon=-43.026774&z=16&m=b&show=/30079426/pt/Pedra-de-São-Pedro-(2177-m)&search=teresopolis), then halving this distance (377.685 m). Input coordinate source (locality description), coordinates, datum (WGS84), coordinate precision (0.00001 degrees), extent of named place (377.685 m), and measurement error (10 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to the Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Named Place: Undefined Area).)
