Occurrence RemarksUpon IMS cleanup project, it was found that TNHC# 20672 contained 11 vials with different locality info (same species). IMS ledger shows 12 entries for IMS# 880 (one lot can't be found). Each vial corresponds correctly to each ledger entry. Separated vials into 11 jars and re-catalogued TNHC# 57221 to reflect sixth data entry in ledger.

Georeferencing Annotation
Has not been Georeferenced because This record, being part of the track 3 import, is not formally georeferenced by FoTX staff at this time. However, to allow mapping and visualization of this record, locality information has been provisionally accepted if provided by the donor or if location text could be matched to previously georeferenced records by FoTX team or donor data. For many records spatial error is either accepted from the donor (when provided) or derived based on coordinate precision.
