Disclaimer
There is no guarantee of complete accuracy in terms of the species
recorded, their locations and dates. The known difficulties of accurate identification in some species groups
means that in a dataset containing tens of millions of records it is quite likely that some mistakes
have survived the record verification processes.
Use of this web page is entirely at your own risk. No liability is accepted for any indirect, consequential
or incidental loss or damage arising from its use.
There is no guarantee that the scripting which loads the map and chart data and which uses it to construct the
displays and species lists will run without causing any problems in a particular browser on a particular device.
You are advised to ensure that any work (document editing, etc) has been saved before making use of this page,
and to avoid opening more than one version/copy of this page simultaneously.
