    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. Georeferenced to an elevation of 2000 meters nearest to the approximate geographic center of Pedra do Sino in Teresópolis, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, extending the linear extent to elevation 1700 on what appears to be Pedra do Sino. Used the reference material and Google Maps - Terrain and Earth Views to locate Pedra do Sino. Used the Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of the geographic point at elevation 2000 m nearest to the approximate geographic center of the mountain (determined through examining contour lines provided by Google Maps - Terrain View). Used the Google Maps – Measure Distance Tool to measure from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of elevation contour line of 1700 on the mountain (in accordance with the specified elevation range). Input coordinate source (locality description), coordinates, datum (WGS84), coordinate precision (0.00001 degrees), extent of named place (488.47 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: Bounded Area).
