Georeferencing Checklist

Below is a table monitoring HerpNET's georeferencing progress. The table includes a list of geopolitical divisions along with the number of localities to be georeferenced in each division, the institution and date the division was claimed and the georeferencing status of each division. Geographical regions already claimed are highlighted in green. When making claims, please follow the HerpNET Georeferencing Steps.

Counts include those localities for which the higher geography is in question. Example:

1) "Ecuador*" is entered into the Higher Geography search field in the Gazetteer. Those localities with "Ecuador?" as country will also be returned.

2) In cases were the locality indicates more than one possible higher geography value, the locality will be returned when each of the possibilities is queried for. So if the Country is "Ecuador/Peru" for a specific locality, this locality will be returned when one searches for "Ecuador" or for "Peru". These ambiguous localities are counted as being part of all possible higher geography fields. Note that all country names listed follow the current ISO standard short country names in English, as much as possible.
