As far as possible, I have elected to use Allen J common and scientific name except when the species is not listed in that book. These names had undergone two rounds of checking in Oct 2001 and I hope I had kept typing errors to the minimum! Alternative common names are usually also recorded in the Speciesnotes field and are available for reference while entering sightings data.
If you are not sure, it is suggested that you search the species table
using the scientific name to locate the species entry in the database.
From there you will be able to check other data for the species.
