A compromise sometimes used is to provide a gazetteer of collecting localities, if the nature of the publication makes this appropriate (e. g., an expeditionary report such as that of Lay 1967). Much less effort per specimen is required to geocode specimen locality information if all of the specimens obtained by a collector on a given date can be identified as coming from the same locality. This can be done by reference to fields 6 and 7, verifying that field 5 is constant, and then geocoding the locality once for all specimens taken there, regardless of the taxon to which they are assigned. For example, the Street expedition of the Field Museum of Natural History (Chicago) to Iran collected 12 species of mammals from Dasht between October 31 and November 2, 1962, including one specimen of what Lay (1967) identified as Crocidura suaveolens, assigned here to C. gmelini. These approaches still leave a large number of specimen localities that must be estimated by the laborious method of first finding the locality in a gazetteer or atlas which either gives its geographic coordinates, or allows their estimation. This tradi- tional, or map-based, geocoding method may be replaced by a proposed relation- based method, which "has the potential for being much faster because the computer is programmed to do much of the work" (D. Gourley, pers. comm.)
