  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Could not locate a place named "Santo Amaro" within the Mun. Porto Seguro. However, judging by the site descriptions of other collections made by this collector on the same day (A. P. Duarte: Nov 6th 1962), determined that the location of this collection must be somewhere in the vicinity of Ajuda. Therfore, georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of Ajuda, in Mun. Porto Seguro, Bahia. Using Google Maps - Sattellite View, located the region marked "Ajuda". Using Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs, found coordinates (final) for the point at the approximate geographic center of the name. Becasue the boundaries of Ajuda are very poorly defined, and this description is especailly vauge considering that the place named "Santo Amaro" was never found, used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to estimate the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates at the center of Ajuda to the center of nearest significant named place, the city of Porto Seguro (-16.4436588 -39.0692711). By not dividing this measurement by 2, as is typically done for estimating the linear extent of a site "Near a Named Place", a more conservative estimate for uncertainty will be calculated, which is warrented given the level of abiguity of this site. Input linear extent (6458.67 km), and measurement error (0.5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to the Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Named Place: Near a Named Place).
