    Corrected label coordinates. Coordinates as provided on label are incorrect (6¬°07'22"S, 35°18'20" W). Quickly located the region of Reserva Biológica Guaribas on Google Maps and noticed latitude coordinates should be closer to -6.70 (rather than -6.07). Modified coordinates slightly to reflect this, and changed coordinate format into decimal degree rather than degrees minutes seconds (as 6°70 is incorrect) and found coordinates plot in correct location (within Reserva Biológica Guaribas).
