The<br>geographic coordinates associated with Corsica actually outline Sardinia.<br>We got the data from TDWG in 2001. I have separately notified Kew, which<br>has the same data we got from TDWG available for download at<br><a href="http://kew.org/gis/tdwg/">http://kew.org/gis/tdwg/</a>.<br><br>David<br><br><br></div></blockquote></div><br></body></html>
