• Georeferencing Method

  Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. It is not clear from this locality description alone which direction along BR 367 the 8 km is being measured from the city of Porto Seguro to the point of collection; however, by tracking the collector's movement across all his sequential collections made on the same day (Scott Mori: July 2nd 1978), it was determined that this collection location must be found 8 km along BR-367 in the westward direction from the city of Porto Seguro in order to prevent major backtracking on the part of the collector, which seems highly unlikely to have occurred. Therefore, georeferenced to 8 km to the W along BR-367 from the center of the city of Porto Seguro, in Mun. Porto Seguro, Bahia. Using Google Maps - Satellite View, and a paper map of the area (Superintendência do Desenvolvimento do Nordeste. "Porto Seguro" [Map]. Mapas da Região Nordeste do Brasil – 1:100,000. Convênio SUDENE – Governo do Estado da Bahia. SUDENE, Recife, PE, Brasil. 1977) located the city of Porto Seguro, and selected the point along BR 367 closest to the approximate geographic center of the city of Porto Seguro according to the boundaries shown on the paper map (-16.4420124 -39.0631771), which are more likely to accurately portray the center and span of the named place at the time of collection, in 1978. Beginning at the point along BR-367 closest to the approximate geographic center of the city of Porto Seguro (-16.4341094 -39.0948486), used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to measure approximately 8 km (8.00027 km) along BR-367 in the westward direction. Using Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs, found coordinates for the offset. Using Distance Measurement Tool again, found the linear extent of the starting location of the offset, the city of Porto Seguro, by measuring from the selected coordinates along BR-367 near the center of the city to the farthest extent of the city. Input coordinates, linear extent (2.92248 km), measurement error (0.0005 km), and distance precision (1 km) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to the Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Offset: Offset along a path).
